Abstract
The transmission of digital HDTV signals on satellite channels in the 20-30 GHz band is studied with the aim of designing an Italian domesti c satellite, both for the exchange of programs among production center s and for direct broadcasting to end-users. Previous work on the defin ition of the system architecture and.of the payloads is first briefly summarized. The transmission impairments due to the interfered environ ment are then analyzed in detail and simulation studies are reported. The results confirm the choices made for the link budgets during the s ystem configuration design. Experimental tests carried out both with l aboratory simulators and with the Olympus European satellite are final ly described.
