The book begins by outlining key generic concepts before discussing techniques adopted in particular application areas; next, it exemplifies these techniques through discussion of state-of-art current and emerging satellite systems. The book concludes by contemplating the likely evolution of these systems, taking into consideration influences and trends in technology, in conjunction with growing user expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to addressing satellite systems that directly interact with personal devices, the book additionally considers those indirect applications where there is an increasing interest by individuals - notably, in remote sensing. As such, the book uniquely encompasses the entire gamut of satellite-enabled personal \/ end-user applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBroad scope - views satellite systems generically with regards to their applicability across a wide range of personal application areas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrong foundation in underlying concepts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eState-of-the-art system examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReview of trends in relevant areas of satellite technology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRevision questions at the end of each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is suited to individuals, engineers, scientists, service providers, system operators, application developers and managers interested or involved in the use of satellite technology for personal applications.
