Abstract:
In this paper, the main measured performance results of the SATURN (Smart mAritime saTellite terminal for mUltimedia seRvices and conteNts) system are summarized. The SATURN project aimed to design and develop a maritime user terminal for small leisure boats (up to 20m of length). Such a terminal allows navigators for receiving contents through a DVB-SH channel and transmitting small amount of data via an ETSI S-MIM return channel (based on the Enhanced Spread Spectrum protocol) using the S-Band (2 GHz). The system performance has been measured in a real environment, emulating the sea-condition by means of an ad-hoc designed Motion Simulator.
