DESCRIPTION:
He is now vice president of technology at Global Digital Satellite Systems. Dr. 0201695820AB04062001 . Mead was the driving force supporting the concept and launch of DIRECTV(TM). Mead, MSEE-Stanford University and PhD in EE/Communication Theory-UCLA, has been an innovator in digital compres
"A good reference describing Direct Broadcast Satellite" according to Briker Daniel. For those who want to understand the main principles of the satellite communications system construction. The author provides a comprehensive explanation of error correction, MPEG compression and even RF issues important in a context of the modern DBS system. The book is very easy to read and is NOT intended for the developers!. Worth the money if you want to learn EVERYTHING about DBS This is not the cheapest book you'll find on DBS satellite technology, but I have found no other books to date that go to the depths of detail that this one does, especially on MPEG2 encoding for satellite broadcast. Mr. Mead was there at the beginnings of DirecTV in 1990, and his years of experience show through in the vast amount of technical detail included in t. Not worth the 58 cents Too technical! I threw it away. It is probably buried in the local land fill under tons of other trash.
This comprehensive reference describes the history and structure of DBS systems, the regulatory environment, the subsystems that support it, and the underlying compression technology that makes it commercially feasible. Written by a leading DBS authority, this book is required reading for anyone involved in this burgeoning field. You will find complete information on key topics such as: International and FCC regulations Radio frequency components of DBS systems, including the shaped reflector antenna Forward error correction, looking at block codes, interleaving, and Viterbi decoding The use of cryptography for conditional access to subscription services MPEG system and transport layer MPEG-2 video and audio compression Connecting terrestrial systems and DBS uplinks The Integrated Receiver Decoder In addition, the book explores future developments, including the Spaceway and the Global Broadcast Service, as well as the MPEG-4 compression standard
To accommodate this diversity, sections within the book are annotated by an icon system:No icon means the material is suitable for all readers. The developments in compression, in particular, are proceeding at a pace that exceeds even the staggering rate of Moore's law, which predicts the increasing capabilities of semiconductors that underlie almost all current technologies. Part 3 describes the key elements of the MPEG-2 international standards as they apply to DBS. From the Inside Flap This book, intended for electronics and communications engineers, describes how all of the individual developments of today's Direct Broadcast Satellites (DBS) came together to provide an overall communication system capable of delivering more than 200 audio-video services. The triangle icon means the section contains some technically difficult material. Organization of the Book The book is divided into the following five parts:Part 1 provides an overview of DBS. A square icon means the sect
