System for broadcasting television by satellite
Abstract
The essential elements of the design of a TV broadcast system by satellite are described, and the various aspects which take part in the specification of the satellite and ground reception equipment are analyzed. As an illustration, a hypothetical system for Brazil is presented, with a satellite positioned at 95 deg W. The reception equipment of this system has a 3 meter antenna diameter and the noise figure is 4 dB, in the frequency of 12 GHz. The complete coverage of Brazil is obtained with three circular beams (EIRP = 25 W) and one elliptic beam (EIRP = 6 W).
