Each satellite radio receiver uses a small, car-phone-sized antenna to receive the XM signal. GM began installing XM satellite radio receivers in selected models in early For that price, listeners get more than channels of music, talk and news. They also get access to XM Radio online, a streaming audio service with more than 80 channels. Many of the channels have no commercials, and none of the channels have more than seven minutes of ads per hour.
The service bolsters that lineup with its own music channels. Sirius said the elliptical path of its satellite constellation ensures that each satellite spends about 16 hours a day over the continental United States, with at least one satellite over the country at all times.
Sirius completed its three-satellite constellation on Nov. A fourth satellite will remain on the ground, ready to be launched if any of the three active satellites encounters transmission problems. In , Sirius purchased a GEO satellite because of its superior signal delivery.
The GEO satellite will supplement the elliptical satellites, not replace them. It is currently under construction. The Sirius system is similar to that of XM. Programs are beamed to one of the three Sirius satellites -- the satellites then transmit the signal to the ground, where your radio receiver picks up one of the channels within the signal. Signals are also be beamed to ground repeaters for listeners in urban areas where the satellite signal can be interrupted.
Sirius produces car radios and home entertainment systems, as well as car and home kits for portable use. The Sirius receiver includes two parts: the antenna module and the receiver module. The antenna module picks up signals from the ground repeaters or the satellite, amplifies the signal and filters out any interference. Inside the receiver module is a chipset consisting of eight chips. The chipset converts the signals from 2. Sirius also offers an adapter that allows conventional car radios to receive satellite signals.
Sirius partnered with several car manufacturers to create a service that broadcasts programming from Nickelodeon, the Cartoon Network and the Disney Channel that televisions with special Sirius receivers can pick up. People riding in the front of the vehicle can still listen to other Sirius radio stations while the kids watch television in the back.
So far, 1worldspace has been the farthest-reaching company in the satellite radio industry. It put two of its three satellites , AfriStar and AsiaStar , in geostationary orbit before either of the other two companies launched one.
AmeriStar , which will offer service to South America and parts of Mexico, has not yet been launched. Each satellite transmits three signal beams, carrying more than 60 channels of programming, to three overlapping coverage areas of about 5. Each of the 1worldspace satellites' three beams can deliver more than 50 channels of crystal-clear audio and multimedia programming via the 1, to 1,megahertz MHz segment of the L-Band spectrum , which is allocated for digital audio broadcasting.
The United States is not currently part of 1worldspace's coverage area, although the company has invested in Sirius XM Radio and has an agreement with the company to share any technological developments. That might be overstating the company's intent a bit, but 1worldspace does plan to reach the corners of our world that most radio stations can't.
There are millions of people living in 1worldspace's projected listening area who can't pick up a signal from a conventional radio station. The satellite then transmits the signal in one, two or all three beams on each satellite. Receivers on the ground then pick up the signal and provide CD -quality sound through a detachable antenna.
The receivers use the proprietary StarMan chipset, manufactured by STMicroelectronics, to receive digital signals from the satellites. For more information on satellite radio and related topics, check out the links on the next page.
