DESCRIPTION:This talk is a general overview of how the SiriusXM satellite s
 ystem works. The talk will cover an historical overview of the origin of s
 atellite radio\, briefly discuss the SirusXM satellites\, constellations\,
  design features\, coverage capabilities\, and how the satellite system is
  augmented with a complementary ground repeater network. The talk will out
 line the frequency planning of both the Sirius and XM network\, the many f
 orms of diversity that greatly improves signal reception\, and the many ch
 allenges associated with robust reception of mobile satellite data. The ta
 lk concludes with an overview of the latest Gen8 receiver ASIC\, its desig
 n process and requirements. Time permitting\, a demonstration of a live RF
  capture processing the SiriusXM signals will be shown.\n\nSpeaker(s): Car
