Abstract:

This paper describes the principles of VSAT data networks,satellite communication systems and the development trend of the broadband DVB-RCS open standard.Through the introduction of VSAT DVB-RCS based broadband satellite communication system in an engineering application examples,including system operations and characteristics,and the basic configuration of the subsystem,it can be concluded that along with broadband networks and services,VSAT satellite communication systems are transforming from the narrowband to broadband system.In the existing technology,based on DVB-RCS standard which has the advantages of openness and low cost,the VSAT broadband satellite communications system will have broad market prospects,especially in the vast remote rural areas.It will be one of the major solutions to the communication problem of the rural areas.

Key words: VSAT;DVB-RCS;broadband satellite communications
