The 19-year-old Slovakian was an unused substitute in last weekend's 3-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at Everton but could find himself called upon as Arsenal head for St James' Park on Saturday with Carver's resources stretched by skipper Fabricio Coloccini's suspension.
However, he insists he will not be fazed if he is handed a league debut for the club.
Satka told the club's official website: "It doesn't scare me. I don't feel any pressure. I want to say I'm ready, but I guess you never know until you actually play. But I'm excited.
"If I get called upon, I'll try my best. Hopefully I'll make my debut and it'll be good for me to be tested against good players.
"Obviously, it would be a big test for me - I'm still young - but it would be a great learning experience."
Carver is unlikely to throw Satka in at the deep end against the Gunners, conscious of how a young player's confidence can be affected if things do not go well, but the fact that he has few options at the back means he could be involved at some stage.
Coloccini's absence has simply exacerbated a problem caused by a lengthy injury list which will rob the Magpies of Steven Taylor, Paul Dummett and Massadio Haidara, once again underlining the risk the club took when deciding not to bring in cover during the January transfer window.
The timing could hardly be worse for Carver, who is attempting to persuade not only owner Mike Ashley and managing director Lee Charnley, but sceptical fans too, that he is the man to succeed Alan Pardew on a permanent basis.
However, he at least has the support of the occupant of the opposition dug-out on Saturday, with Arsene Wenger having voiced the opinion that he has "the qualities to do the job".
Carver said: "That's nice, because people in the game understand what is going on. He (Wenger) understands that if he was here in these circumstances, he would have a problem dealing with it.
"We've seen sides in the past when they pick up four or five injuries, it affects them, especially when it's their best players. We've got eight or nine - and six or seven would be in the team."
