Satellite Broadcasting

Originally published in 1988, this book provides a thorough examination of the possibilities and key issues in satellite technology which at the time already seemed likely to change the face of broadcasting both within nations and internationally. It begins with a guide to the technical development of different systems of satellites and signal reception and an outline of the international, political and regulatory issues involved. It then examines the situation in various industrialised countries by analysing launching plans, funding, the interaction between satellite, cable and VCRs and the effect on existing broadcasting systems. Concerned throughout with a wide range of cultural considerations and the potential impacts of the new media, this is a useful reflection on the time.

This book is about satellite communication and broadcast facilities for the Television Industry. You will get a basic understanding of satellite, satellite position, orbitals, transponders. This book covered live broadcast technologies with fiber optic, DSNG/SNG, Flyaway, OB VAN, Internet Streaming. You will able to understand how modulation-demodulation works. What is the satellite orbital, transponder, LNB's and how encoder works with this equipment? Overall, this is a handy book for the starter who is keen to understand about satellite and television broadcasting.

Focusing on the analysis and design of satellite broadcast systems, this practical book gives you an integral understanding of the essential engineering aspects of these systems, and provides insight into the calculations of modern digital broadcasting by satellite. The book helps you master the basic technological principles of satellite broadcast systems, giving you the knowledge you need to efficiently design systems for top performance.

The primary function of this book is to discuss the current state of satellite broadcasting, but it also includes historical background and information about future developments. The book covers a range of subjects within the field of direct broadcasting by satellite.
