Abstract: The rapid evolution of wireless communication systems has positioned 5G as a transformative architecture for both terrestrial and satellite-based networks. This study investigates the integration of 5G technology in enhancing signal processing and satellite communication systems, with a focus on technical performance, infrastructure readiness, and scalability. The research is structured across five core domains: signal processing optimization, satellite link performance under atmospheric disturbances, network infrastructure benchmarking, data validation through repeated trials, and system behavior under variable traffic loads. Using a combination of real-time testbeds, simulation platforms, and standard-compliant protocols, the study measures key performance indicators such as latency, bit error rate, signal-to-noise ratio, packet delivery rate, and throughput. Results show that advanced modulation schemes like 1024-QAM yield a major reduction in latency (over 80%) while maximizing data fidelity. Adding 5G technologies to existing satellite communication systems show resilience against heavy rain, maintaining enough through put to allow for image and data transfer on-demand. LTE versus 5G Network Configurations (table): Latency, Jitter, Handover Success Rate. Additionally, 5G systems maintain service delivery above 85% packet delivery ratio (PDR) even at heavy traffic conditions. The results emphasize the practical feasibility of 5G as a unified platform to achieve high-performance signal processing and reliable hybrid network communication. The article provides empirical insights at a granularity that can be beneficial for engineers, researchers, and policymakers concerned about deploying and optimizing next-gen communication systems.
