Basic doubt

On 23/12/2005 the venerable raghu etched in runes:

If you want to learn basic electronics, then trying to understand satellite data communications is not the best place to start.

You would be much better off reading sci.electronics.basics and having a go at building a crystal set for receiving AM radio transmissions.

Polarisation refers to the actual satellite signal, symbol rate to the speed of the data encoded therein and these are important because we presumably want to decode the signal.

Do they still sell crystal sets?

I took a quick scan via google and wasn't deluged with ads for them.
