Satellite Radio Technology

By Owen Jones

Satellite radio technology is similar to cable or satellite television and it is certainly here to stay. There are several reasons for this: the quality of the transmissions is higher, the quality of the apparatus's reception is higher and the general coverage of the station, that is to say the so-called satellite's footprint is much greater too.

This has the effect that if you travel long distances, you will be able to stay with the same channel without having to look for a new one every forty or fifty miles as you need to do with AM or FM radio stations.

In order to reach this quality, the recording and playback speed has to be around the 384 kbps level. The music tracks are catalogued in a comparable way to the MP3 system, which uses names called ID3 tags.

Each station on satellite radio endevours to establish its own identity. A music station might try this by playing music only of one sort or from only one era or decade. This means that you may get a satellite radio channel called 1970's Punk music or Twentieth Century Classical Music.

On some stations, the music controller or disc jockey will choose, say, fifty minutes worth of music, will listen to it in order to ascertain that the quality and the order are correct and then let the computer play it over the airwaves. This leaves ten minutes every hour for the news and then the programme can be repeated automatically.

Satellite broadcasting uses digital recordings and each channel is encoded on a different frequency. Similarly, each decoder, say, in your car or your home needs to recognize and decode each channel separately as well. This coding and decoding is done very quickly, in fact in what is called 'real time'.

The resulting binary or digital code is then translated into analogue signals so that your speakers can reproduce it. This process creates sound which is just about of CD quality.

The broadcasting satellites are in a geo-static orbit at 23,000 miles above the Earth and have a large footprint which is the name given to the region of ground that is capable of receiving their broadcasts.

In America, for instance, the two regions concentrated on at first were the densely populated east and west coasts in order to maximize potential revenue. One satellite would be incapable of covering the entirety of the United States in that orbit.

In order to receive satellite broadcasts, you will have to use a special antenna on your decoder. This antenna must be capable of picking up L-band transmissions for it to be of use.

These new antennas are a huge improvement on the parabolic dishes (equivalent to those used for satellite TV) that one used to have to have in order to take advantage of satellite radio technology
