DESCRIPTION
The SDARS is a satellite transmission system based on two geostationary satellites on the East and West coasts of the Continental United States (CONUS). In the urban areas, where the line of sight reception of the satellites is difficult or not possible, the service is covered by terrestrial repeaters adopting a MultiCarrier Modulation scheme.
