Satellite Technology Overview with Mark Long

A concentrated look at the technical side of Geostationary communications satellites and the receiving earth stations.  

When combined with our Satellite Installations DVD, the audience obtains a complete information intensive short course on the technical aspects of satellite systems.

Satellite Technology Overview is a comprehensive

presentation by author Mark Long, of the basic technical concepts of satellite TV, ranging from the satellites overhead to the systems hardware down on the ground. Related technologies such as encryption, compression, VSATs for business, broadband systems for consumers and two-way transportable terminals for disaster relief applications are also covered.

Our Satellite TV Technology Overview DVD is an information-intensive program targeted at enterprises, corporations, educational institutions, and government agencies that need to bring their staff, partners and customers up to speed on a wide range of satellite technologies.

Author, technical trainer and consultant, Mark Long, gets right to the heart of the matter, beginning with basic technical principles and then progressing through each area of concern.

Important space segment considerations- such as satellite payloads, frequency bands, power levels, coverage beams and station keeping—are described along with corresponding earth segment considerations dealing with satellite antennas, feedhorns, LN              Bs, analog and digital receiver/decoders, encryption and digital video compression, potential problem sources and component integration.

Satellite TV Technology Overview is a general introduction to all aspects of satellite audio and video technology, concentrating on technical matters which cut across the spectrum of basic C-band, Ku-band, DBS (tiny dishes), and video compression. When combined with our Satellite Installations DVD, the audience obtains a complete short course covering the specific concerns of the satellite technician, installer and repairman. What’s more, these two DVDs provide the background and theory needed before anyone can pick up the tools and go to work!

Satellite TV Technology Overview covers:

Part 0ne: The Space Segment
Orbits and Orbital Assignments
Frequencies
Satellite Frequency Bands
FSS vs BSS Satellite Freq. Assignments
Satellite Transponders
Satellite Polarization Formats
Satellite Communication Subsystems
Interpreting Satellite Coverage Maps

Part Two: The Ground Segment

Disaster Recovery


A COMPLETE COURSE -

The Satellite TV Technology Overview DVD was designed to be part of a complete course of instruction on the technical aspects of satellite communications. It should be used with our Satellite Installations videotape to touch upon all aspects of the technology.  Makes a great package for Voc/Tech schools. Ideal for training industry technicians and installers, too!
