Low Earth Orbits (LEO) satellites are used for public communication and for scientific purposes. These satellites provide opportunities for investigations for which alternative techniques are either difficult or impossible to apply. Ground stations have to be established in order to communicate with such satellites. Usually these satellites communicate with ground stations at S-band. The commun...

A purification scheme for satellite DNA containing chromatin from mouse liver has been developed. It is based on the highly condensed state of the satellite chromatin and also takes advantage of its resistance to digestion by certain restriction nucleases. Nuclei are first treated with micrococcal nuclease and the satellite chromatin enriched 3-5 fold by extraction of the digested nuclei under...

Received Jul 5, 2014 Revised Nov 11, 2014 Accepted Nov 22, 2014 In this paper, an algorithm was presented to control the satellite attitude in orbit in order to reduce the fuel consumption and increase longevity of satellite. Because of proper operation and simplicity, fuzzy controller was used to save fuel and analyze the uncertainty and nonlinearities of satellite control system. The presente...

Two fractions of a satellite DNA from the muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) isolated as a unimodal peak from CsCl gradients, differ in melting properties and complexity as estimated by reassociation kinetics. At 49.8 C, all of the low melting fraction was denatured and all of the high melting fraction was native. There were almost no partially denatured molecules detected in the electron microscope a...

This paper discusses in-house designed and developed scale-down DVB-RCS hub along with the performance of the realized hub. This development is intended to support the Satellite Based e-Learning initiative in India. The scale-down DVB-RCS HUB is implemented around a single PC with other subsystems making it very cost effective and unique of its kind. This realization will drastically reduce the...

The ionospheric bias and the combined observation noise are two crucial factors affecting the reliability of the triple-carrier ambiguity resolution (TCAR). In order to obtain a better reliability of TCAR, a new ionosphere-free and variance-restricted TCAR method is proposed through exploring the ambiguity link between each step of TCAR. The method constructs an ionosphere-free combination and ...

Approved: _______________________________ Thesis Chairman Chapter 1: Introduction Wireless communication is a convenient way to transmit voice or data from point to point, and is essential for mobile communications. Commercial applications include cellular telephony, globalpositioning satellite, direct-broadcast satellite, and wireless computing. A block diagram of a radiofrequency transceiver ...
