Abstract

VSAT stands for Very Small Aperture Terminals. It allows for the provision of Broadband services using Satellite technology. A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT), is a two-way satellite ground station with a dish antenna that is smaller than 3 meters . Modern VSAT technology now allows small businesses and residential users to avail of the opportunity to receive Broadband services via satellite. A VSAT network consists of three components: A satellite A central hub A virtually unlimited number of VSAT terminals. user

The project will cover the following topics:


Fundamentals of satellite communications. VAST network components Network topologies. VSAT terminal equipment block diagram and technical specifications

Graduation Project Description Form - Design, simulation and implementation of some of the building blocks of the terminal equipment

The practical part of the project will depend upon the use of:
- Software packages that can provide simulation of circuit designs. - FPGA chip that can be downloaded with the successful simulated designs.

Each student in the group will be responsible for:


- Investigating the technicalities of VSAT - Designing, simulating and implementing one of the building blocks of the baseband module of the user terminal - writing down his/her own project thesis.

Prerequisites
Each student has to study a VHDL course
