For many years, ships in distress at sea have depended upon radio operators keeping continuous radio listening watch on specified international frequencies for Morse code and voice communications. The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System is now being developed to provide a new global communications and locating network to alert search and rescue services. All students of navigation or maritime technology must now be trained in the use of GMDSS. This accessible reference textbook provides the new radio operator with all the knowledge that is needed to fully understand the GMDSS and its...

Satellites are increasingly used for global communications, as well as for radio and television transmissions. With the growth of mobile communications, and of digital technology, the use of satellite systems is set to expand substantially and already all students of electronics or communications engineering must study the subject. This book steers a middle path between offering a basic understanding of the process of communication by satellite and the methodology used; and the extensive mathematical analysis normally adopted in similar texts. It presents the basic concepts, using as...

This is the first book to cover the Global Marine Distress and Safety System (GDMSS) in a comprehensive and readable way. GDMSS is now being developed to provide a new global communications and locating network to alert search and rescue services, and all students of navigation or maritime technology, and practising navigation officers, will need to be trained in its use. This accessible reference textbook provides students and new radio operators with all the knowledge necessary for a complete understanding of GMDSS and its related systems.
