Satellite broadcasting: The performance of C-MAC in a hardware simulation of a DBS transmission chain
Abstract
The C-MAC, a new transmission standard for direct broadcasting by satellite, when passed through a hardware simulation of a complete satellite transmission chain was measured. The quality of the vision and sound were monitored throughout the chain, for the nominal chain and for the chain with deliberately introduced impairments such as noise, interference, amplitude and group delay distortion and nonlinear amplification. It is concluded that C-MAC is a suitable transmission standard for satellite broadcasting.
