    Concise reference material

    This book is a great reference of Basic Satellite communications principles. It is geared towards the student, first time engineering professional, and seasoned veteran. Educators may find this book useful in formulating lesson plans fro college curriculum as well as drawing from it's very understandable language. My interest in radio communications technology led me to purchasing this book, and I have enjoyed using it as an as needed reference to prepare myself for work in this segment of the communications industry.
