SMATV

It provides Reception of DBS TV/FM channels for hotels, motels, dormitories, schools, hospitals and commercial properties with multiple tenants.

For maintaining a good signal-to-noise ratio at all the indoor units served, a larger antenna is required, typically 2 metres (6.6 ft) to 3 metres (9.8 ft) in diameter.

For trunk line isolation, a resistive inductive device known as a splitter is used.

The amplifier output is fed to the splitter through coaxial trunk lines.

These include: There are two main approaches for distribution of digital TV signals in SMATV installations: In the United States, the satellite carriers providing the satellite TV signal for SMATV headend systems are:
