Description:
Donald C. Mead provides communication engineers with a comprehensive reference on direct broadcast satellite (DBS) communications. Empowered by technological developments in satellites, along with advances in MPEG technology (a set of standards for audio and video compression) DBS is now being widely deployed. This unique book provides a timely reference to both MPEG compression and the technical details of the bestselling DBS implementation, DirecTV.
Providing a general overview of DBS, the history of communication satellites, and the FCC regulatory process, this book serves as an up to date reference. In addition, Mead provides the many technical facets of DBS in depth, coverage of the terrestrial systems that connect the customer to the satellite, plus specifics on the use of MPEG with DBS technology. Suitable for satellite and broadcast engineers, wireless communication engineers, and engineers working in video processing and compression, this book meets the growing demand for practical information and an authoritative reference on the topic. The many valuable case studies in the book, come from Mead's own experience and reflect technological advances made by DirecTV.
