Satellite broadcasting - System concepts and the television transmission standards for Europe
Abstract
Within Western Europe, several countries have indicated their intention to start DBS services in the 12 GHz band in 1985/6 or soon after. Against this background, the European Broadcasting Union has recommended a common transmission standard known as C-MAC/packet. An outline is given of the system, with a discussion of the requirements for a broadcasting satellite and receivers for individual reception.
