What Is VSAT ?
 VSAT stands for “Very Small Aperture Terminal”
 It is a two way satellite ground station with a dish antenna
 It access satellites in geosynchronous orbit to relay data

from small remote earth stations to other terminals
 Each VSAT terminal is assigned a frequency for its return

path which it shares with other VSAT terminals
 VSAT systems are based on IP which broadens its

spectrum of application
Segments of VSAT
 Space segment: This segment consists of
a satellites in geostationary orbit located
on an arc 36,000 kms above the equator.
 Ground segment: Also known as Earth
Terminal Segment has two parts:
1) Outdoor Unit: ground or even wall
mounted.
2) Indoor Segment: Is located near existing
computer equipment.
Typical VSAT System
Consists of four parts :
 Outdoor unit
 Cassegrain Antenna System
 Radio Frequency Terminal (RFT)
 Indoor Unit(IDU)
Block Diagram of a VSAT System
Various components of
VSAT network
 Antenna Control Unit
 This unit works to receive &transmit signals

from satellite
 Beacon signal receiver: satellites send a self

generated signal to earth station known as
beacon signal
 Antenna Tracker: checks voltage level of

signal and automatically moves dish to track
max strength
 High Power Amplifier
 Also known as Vacuum Tubes (Valve) Amplifiers
are cost effective in high power applications
 They are of two types:
1) Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA): a TWT

integrated with a regulated power supply
&protection circuit is referred to as a TWTA
2) Klystron II Tube Amplifier:- makes use of

electron bunching in a klystron tube
 Low Noise Amplifier
 Used to amplify very weak

signals captured by antenna
 Up/Down converter
 Used to convert signals from low to high
or from high to low frequency
respectively.
 Up converters are used to increase the

frequency while transmitting
 Down converters are used to decrease

the frequency while reception
 Modem & Multiplexer
 Modem:- a device which modulates the

transmitting signal & demodulates the
receiving signal.
 Multiplexer:- it is a device that allows

multiple logical signals to transmit
simultaneously over a single channel
 Router & Exchange
 Router:- A device that finds the best route

between any two networks when two
routers are connected on same port it is
called cross-connection & when on different
ports it is called straight connection.
 Exchange:- A workplace where lines from

telephone can be connected to permit
communication is called Exchange.
Communication Between Two
vast Terminals
How data is transmitted from
hub site to remote site via
VSAT
VSAT topologies
 STAR- The hub station controls, monitors
&communicate with large number of dispersed
VSATs. suitable for centralized data applications.
 MESH- A group of VSATs communicate directly

with any other VSAT in the network. suitable for
telephony applications.
 Hybrid- Where a pair of network operates on

Star while some sites operate on Mesh.
Technology used by VSAT
services
1) Time Division Multiple Access

(TDMA)
 When numerous remote sites

communicate with one channel hub
 max bandwidth is restricted to 19.2Kbps
 Usually used in star topology

2) Single Carrier Per Channel
(SCPC)
 Provides point to point technology
 bandwidth up to 2 Mbps
 Frequency Division Multiple Access
(FDMA)
 In it the satellite channel bandwidth is

broken into frequency bands for different
earth station.
Advantages of a VSAT network
 Provide point-to-point, point-to-multipoint,
multipoint-to-point communication & broadband
multimedia services
 Provide communication to remote areas
 Reliability: reliable satellite transmission of data,

voice & video.
 Flexibility: VSAT offers enormous expansion

capabilities & unrestricted and unlimited reach.
Conti………
 Network Management: easily integrates
end-to-end monitoring & configuration. A
low mean time to repair
 Link budget: estimates the ground station

and satellite Effective Isotropic Radiated
Power (EIRP).
 Cost: offers significant savings over 2-3

years timeframe.
VSAT services
 Interactive real tome application
 Telephony
 Intranet, Internet & IP infrastructure
 Direct-to-Home
Opportunities in VSAT technology
 Voice over IP (VOIP) via satellite.

 Frame Relay via Satellite ATM via Satellite
 Video-on-Demand via Satellite
 Multimedia Application :
1) Internet/e-mail connection
2) Telemedicine
3) Distance Learning
