Satellite Radio
[attachment=21837]
Description: Satellite radio is a radio service that uses satellites circling Earth to broadcast its programming. In 1992, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allocated a satellite spectrum (the "S" band, 2.3 GHz) for the broadcasting of satellite-based digital audio radio service (DARS). It eventually granted two licenses, one to Sirius Satellite Radio (formerly CD Radio) and one to XM Satellite Radio (formerly American Mobile Radio Corporation). The world's biggest satellite radio provider, 1worldspace, is available in Europe and several other countries but not in the United States.Satellite radio, also called subscription radio (SR) or digital radio is a satellite-based radio broadcast service. Satellite radio is a subscription radio service.You need 4 things to get satellite radio:
• A satellite radio antenna. Antennas are included in car and home kits, and come with portable boom boxes. Antennas must be purchased separately for in-dash receivers, home component tuners, and external satellite radio tuners.
• A satellite radio tuner. A satellite radio tuner passes the satellite signal from the antenna to the receiver. External tuners are only necessary for "satellite radio-ready" in-dash receivers.
• A satellite radio receiver. A satellite radio receiver is where the controls for selecting channels and categories, and displaying artist, channel, and song information are located. Receivers are built-in to Dock & Play tuners, home component-style tuners, and (obviously) car stereos with a built-in satellite radio tuner.
• A subscription to either XM or Sirius. A satellite radio subscription to either XM or Sirius must be activated in order to receive programming.
Applications:Satellite radios main application is Automobiles,Iphones,Military uses,different mobile communications, Amateur radio,Satellite internet access,Direct broadcast satellites,Business applications etc.
Future Scope Of Satellite Radio: The future of satellite radio looks very bright. Both XM Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio have been successful in creating a wide variety of music and information channels in a commercial-free format. With over 4 million current subscribers, the projected increase is to have 50 million by 2015.The cost of receivers has been reduced to around $150; and the cost of the subscriptions have maintained around $10-$12/month satellite radios provide the new programming in latest radios and more videos.
