Now, imagine a radio station that can broadcast its signal from more than 22,000 miles (35,000 kill) away and then come through on your car radio with complete clarity without ever having to change the radio station. Satellite Radio or Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS) is a subscriber based radio service that is broadcast directly from satellites. Subscribers will be able to receive up to100 radio channels featuring Compact Disk digital quality music, news, weather, sports. talk radio and other entertainment channels.
Each company has a different plan for its broadcasting system, but the systems do share similarities. Here are the key components of the three satellite radio systems 1.Satellites 2.Ground Repeaters 3.Radio Receivers

User Interface
Using a precise mathematical relationship, the digital data signal is split across 1,536 different carrier frequencies, and also across time. This process ensures that even if some of the carrier frequencies are affected by interference. or the signal disturbed for a short period of time, the receiver is still able to recover the original sound. The interference which disturbs FM reception, caused by radio signals "bouncing" off buildings and hills (multipath) is eliminated by COFDM technology. It also means that the same frequency can be used across the entire country, so no re-tuning of sets is necessary when traveling, or taking a portable receiver to a different area.
ADVANTAGES
Conventional analog radio cannot meet this standard, simply because of the technology used and the transmission environment in which it is broadcast. As well - unlike AM and FM - digital radio reception is virtually immune to interference, which means there are no static growls or 'multi path' echoes (caused by signal reflections off buildings or topographical features) to make listening unpleasant. at home, or in the car, In short, digital radio eliminates the noise that creeps into analog radio transmission and reception.
