Satellite sound broadcast propagation measurements and system impairmentsAn evaluation of the operational characteristics of indoor portable reception of satellite sound reception has identified the nature of UHF and L-band signals' penetration loss in the cases of buildings having intricate spectral and spatial signal structures. These propagation impairments must be mitigated by resort to a combination of link margin, diversity techniques, and/or the efforts of a listener to place the radio (or its antenna) in an advantageous location. Attention is given to cost/performance tradeoffs for a mix of these measures, with a view to Direct Broadcast Satellite Radio system design.
