Direct Satellite Broadcasting.
Abstract
The Symposium on Direct Satellite Broadcasting (DSB), held in Dublin 23-25 May 1977, included 17 papers discussing the potentialities and problems of this new medium, which is to bring television to private homes via either 1-meter paraboloidal dishes or larger community antenna. This Symposium follows up the World Administrative Radio Conference of early 1977, which assigned frequencies for DSB in the 12-GHz band. Although intended primarily to rally support for DSB, the Symposium also included discussions of previous DSB work, planned experiments, technical specifications, cost comparisons, programming aspects, and legal difficulties, many of which remain to be resolved.
