Satellite Radio – Not your father’s Sputnik

always ask me how all of this, the work of satellite radio? I mean, it seems, the thing now. Many car manufacturers install satellite radio receivers in their new vehicles, and are home and portable models on the market through your favorite electronics outlet. But what is it? How it works Why am I on the radio should pay?

Let’s start with a view of the type of radio we’re accustomed. AM radio broadcasts at a frequency of 535 kilohertz (kHz) 1700 kHz (1.7 MHz). FM broadcasts between 88 MHz to 108 MHz without too technical, is actually a Hertz one cycle per second. How to become an FM radio waves transmitted to 88MHz Cycling 88 million times per second. This seems a lot, but it is actually relatively slow. Slower cycles require larger antennas to transmit and receive. Even the radio antenna and ground fixed, and therefore limited in scope. meet more cycles, smaller antennas. Mobile phones ranging from 824 MHz to 1990 MHz (1.99GHz), depending on the type of service, which is a much faster cycle, and thus a smaller antenna is used. Satellite radio is broadcast at 2.3 GHz, so your car or portable receiver has no trouble picking up the signal. There have been great advances in antenna technology that provides a relatively small, flat antenna rather than a court, which must be constantly adjusted to point towards the satellite, and the city picking up kids from soccer practice. Maybe I should listen to me one of them there satellite radios p> …
