4. Signals to be measured¶

As mentioned in the previous subsection, signals from Ku-band will be received by the antenna. Ku-band is mostly used by communication satellites for fixed and broadcast satellite services. Therefore, signals from geostationary satellites covering Europe will be received. A list of geostationary satellites covering Europe is available at Lyngsat website. Most of those satellites are used to broadcast TV but also for exchange of data and internet access. As a consequence, most of the signals that will be received by the Ku-band antenna are DVB-S or DVB-S2 compliant.
