Extract

Great interest is being generated in direct broadcasting from space. In the future, several satellites will give individual users who are suitably equipped the option to select from over 40 programme channels. This paper is intended to outline the general system characteristics and requirements and considers the practicalities of siting and setting up a small receive-only terminal. Possible impairments resulting in signal degradation are described.
