A Look At The Technology Behind Satellite Radio

Posted by admin on January 31, 2011 No comments

Any song that you hear on your satellite radio is a recording or replay and will be transmitted to you again and again. The recording has to be at a minimum so that you will be able to put it on CDs and tapes. The music is that of an MP3 except it is broadcasted over a satellite radio. The person who is putting together the music on the broadcast usually just puts together a list of 20 to 30 minutes worth of music and then just lets it play.


Encoding will be one of the key things in satellite digital broadcasting. Every channel is handled by a different person who chooses the music to play. Whoever is playing the music will take the analog and put it to digital use. The process that the high powered computers do is way more powerful then any other regular computer today because they have to break down sound waves and maybe re makes them. After they have broken them down they will be put on CDs after the song is remade or whatever happens during the encoding process it will be broadcasted over your normal satellite radio. That is what happens when you push your button to turn on your satellite radio and are going to be listening to your satellite radio receiver. Above the earth in space is where the satellites send down the transmissions broadcasted on the satellite radios.


The satellites are located up there and they will send down the broadcasts that are made. All they do is broadcast the music to the players and tuners so that people can listen to all the music that they need and want. Each satellite is 23,000 feet up and broadcasts signals everyday to the tuners and radio players. The satellites are geo synched which means that they always hover over the place where they are going to be broadcasting. Even if it means just staying in the same place forever that’s what they are going to be doing. They will just stay there unless they are moved to another area and then another satellite just fills its spot and then you are going to have more music again. I don’t think that a satellite is just going to move during a song but if it does it will just be replaced by another outlaying satellite.


So if you need a satellite radio or were thinking about getting one you should go to best buy or circuit city and get one even though they may seem kind of expensive they are well worth every penny when you are wanting to listen to something that you cannot listen to on the regular radio. They are probably around the 50 to 100 dollar range at any electronics store around where you may live. The better ones are around the $100 to $300 range and are going to be like that because they offer a better subscription or service.

It is latest in news that the Video Conferencing saves lives in Health Industry. The reason for it is very simple. Video conferencing is a method of communication between two or many individuals concurrently.

With inclusion of Video Conferencing technology in health industry, many travelling costs have greatly reduced. In this way not only the money but also the precious time is being saved. With this technology doctors can now discuss several cases sitting at the distant places in the world. Imagine doctors and scientists sitting in US are discussing some typical urgent case with their counterparts in China, in real-time and with nearly very little expense incurreing in the high definition video conferencing, when compared with the cost of travelling, staying at hotels and the value of time and the life of patient.

Many countries are making big investments in the installation of various conferencing equipments in Health Industry, be it audio or video conferencing system. In US only, under Obama administration, billions of dollars are being spent for installation of these sophisticated equipments.

One of the great advantages of using Video Conference technology is that wherever it is possible, people are now directly having medical checkups through video Conferencing. Thus the need to go to clinic is over. People directly discuss their problems with the doctors and take guided medication. It is especially useful when there is no means of making communication between a doctor and a patient like when someone is in a remote place and making connection on time with the doctor is impossible.

This process of providing distant treatment saves many lives and if the technology continues to spread at this rate, then it is not difficult to achieve the national targets of decreasing the mortality rate by delivering real-time treatments. Apart from that in future there will be potential reduction in the cost of treatment.

The Video Conferencing is also helping medical colleges worldwide as any new method of treatment or operation technology can now be shared with all. Along with that many online tutoring programs are being organized that teach the students or even doctors the latest trends and technology in the health industry.
