MLB700 Broadcast Datalink Receiver
Figure 2. Sirius’ three satellites in a 24-hour geo-synchronous
orbit, Two of which are always over the continental U.S.
Sirius broadcasts using 12.5 MHz of the S band between 2320.0
and 2332.5 MHz. All three satellites can broadcast directly to the
MLB700 receiver, and because of their highly elliptical orbit, there
will always be two of them in view at any given time. The Sirius
signal is separated into three carriers, one each for the two
satellites, and the third for the terrestrial repeater network, used
in more populated areas for the automotive market. Sirius
receivers can decode all three carrier signals at once to achieve
signal diversity.
