Abstract:
A receiving terminal system collecting a plurality of subchannel signals from a plurality of transponders and reconstructing an original signal, the receiving terminal system comprising:a plurality of tuners wherein each tuner receives a subchannel signal from a transponder and modifies a frequency of the subchannel signal, each subchannel signal including content data and configuration data; a plurality of demodulators wherein each demodulator demodulates the modified output from a respective tuner to create a signal corresponding to at least a portion of the content data; a combiner subsystem that receives outputs from the demodulators and combines the signals from the demodulators into a delayed reconstruction of the original signal based on the configuration data; and a controller subsystem coupled with the tuners and receiving the configuration data for each subchannel signal to synchronize the signals fed into the digital combiner subsystem.
