Satellite TV Communications
Saturday, March 8th, 2008Satellite TV communications provide television broadcast using artificial satellites put up in space. Satellite television as opposed to terrestrial television and cable television uses satellite dish communications. Satellite television satellites are either in highly elliptic orbits (HEO) or geostationary orbits (geostationary satellites appear to be in a fixed position to an observer on earth as they revolve around the earth at a constant speed).
Global communications satellites form a constellation or a system of interlinked satellites. As one goes farther away from earth, the coverage of the satellites increases and thus lesser satellites are required. For geostationary satellites, 4 to 6 satellites are enough to cover the whole surface of the earth.
A Historical Look At Satellite Television
Friday, November 30th, 2007Satellite television is TV broadcasted and delivered via a communications satellite device in geostationary orbit 22,000 miles above the Earth. This contrasts with conventional terrestrial television and cable television, providing a broader range of channels and services comprised of subscription-only services and a basic package of channels. The satellite maintains a specific position in space. Signals are beamed up to the satellite from an Earth station, then relayed back down again to be received by a dish. Satellites can deliver both analogue and digital services.
The first satellite television signal was transmitted from Europe to the Telstar satellite over North America in 1962. The first geosynchronous communication satellite, Syncom 2 was launched in 1963. A device called Early Bird, the world’s first commercial communication satellite, was launched into synchronous orbit on April 6, 1965. In 1967 the Soviet Union created ORBITA, the first national network of satellite television. This device was employed on the principle of using the highly elliptical Molniya satellite for re-broadcasting and delivering of TV signal to ground downlink stations. Canada created geostationary Anik 1, the first domestic North American satellite to carry television in 1972. Launched in 1974, the world saw the first experimental educational and Direct Broadcast Satellite ATS-6 come into being. In 1976, Ekran, the first Soviet geostationary satellite to carry Direct-To-Home television was successfully launched.
