I am an understudy of the university of surrey, at present contemplating for a graduate degree in Electronics Engineering (Euro Masters) with great learning of both terrestrial communication systems and satellite communication systems. I have taken some major courses to empower me have the significant essential information to have the capacity to take a shot at this proposed research thesis. Find attached my CV for more information.
1. Introduction
1.1 What is been proposed
Communication systems is of upmost importance to the Military today. Without communication relevant information would not be pass across, proper decisions may not be made, which may lead to chaos, conflict and the life of innocents …show more content…
1.4 History
The use of these terrestrial systems for communication are not new. From the earliest time, the use of visible light as been a means of communication. Fire beacons or smoke signals were for simple communication. The use of heliograph mirror devices which uses Morse code flashes of sunlight using a mirror dates back to the 1800s. the heliograph mirror device greatly aided military operations. Several type of night signals that made used of prearranged patterns of coloured light mounted on ships, aided naval communication greatly. (Sterling, 2008).
In world war I, aircraft were used by the military to aid communication. There were used for observations, flying dispatches and scouting duties. By 1917, the British aircraft were using improved vacuum tube wireless and wireless voiced signals. By 1939, the major fighting powers had all improved their aircraft communication systems and capabilities (Sterling, …show more content…
