This document summarizes the WORK Microwave Handheld Satcom Test Source signal generator. It can generate signals from 50-180 MHz and 950-2150 MHz with precision to serve as a reference for measuring complex analog systems. It has two independent synthesizers, allowing it to generate two signals simultaneously for measuring intermodulation of high-frequency converters. Its adjustable output power level from -45 to -5 dBm in 0.5 dB steps enables measuring the 1 dB compression point and conversion gain of converters. The portable generator can operate on its internal battery or via USB, making it a versatile testing device.

The document discusses proposed extensions to the DVB-S2 satellite broadcasting standard to improve efficiency and accommodate higher data rates. The extensions include reducing transponder roll-off factors and side lobes to allow transponders to be placed closer together, using wider bandwidth transponders, adding a new 64 APSK modulation, and providing more modulation and coding options. These techniques could increase data rates by 20% for direct broadcasting and up to 64% for professional services. The extensions aim to enable services like ultra-high definition TV that require greater bandwidth capabilities.
