SPCI completes system design for LIVE In Flight Video

February 15, 1999

Square Peg Communications Inc. (SPCI) has completed an evaluation of a C-band global aeronautical broadcast system using transponder EIRPs varying from 26 to 29 dBW. The following were evaluated:

• 0 dB/K G/T C-band aeronautical antennas for major wide bodied aircraft types

• aeronautical fading channel effects

• dual-rate modulation and coding

• acquisition, demodulation and decoding algorithms

• link layer protocol for point-to-multipoint distribution of multiple data streams on a single carrier

• link budget analysis assuming single saturated carrier per transponder operation and adjacent satellite interference coordination

• transmitter and receiver performance specifications.
