Satellite broadcasting receiving system with reception level indicator using control signal from receiver

Claim 2

A satellite broadcasting reception system comprising: a satellite antenna for receiving electromagnetic waves, a signal cable for transmitting signals produced upon reception of the electromagnetic waves by said satellite antenna, a receiver for receiving the signals transmitted over said signal cable, and a reception level indicator connected to said signal cable for indicating a reception level of the electromagnetic waves on the basis of a control signal transmitted from said receiver over said signal cable, wherein said control signal comprises a signal modulating voice sampling clocks as a carrier.

Claim 3

The satellite broadcasting reception system as defined in claim 1 wherein said reception level indicator is mounted in the vicinity of the satellite antenna.

Claim 4

The satellite broadcasting reception system as defined in claim 1 wherein said receiver generates a carrier wave for said control signal without employing an oscillator.

Claim 5

The satellite broadcasting reception system as defined in claim 1 wherein the electromagnetic waves are broadcast by a broadcasting satellite.

Claim 6

The satellite broadcasting reception system as defined in claim 1 wherein the electromagnetic waves are broadcast by a communication satellite.

Claim 7

A satellite broadcasting reception system comprising: plural satellite antennas, a changeover distributor for switching among plural broadcasting signals obtained from plural electromagnetic waves received from said plural satellite antennas, plural signal cables for respectively transmitting plural broadcasting signals produced upon reception of the plural electromagnetic waves by said plural satellite antennas, plural receivers connected respectively to said plural signal cables for receiving the plural signals transmitted over said plural signal cables and for respectively producing plural control signals transmitted back over said plural signal cables, wherein each said plural control signal comprises a signal modulating voice sampling clocks as a carrier; microcomputer means connected to said plural signal cables for decoding said control signals and producing plural changeover signals fed to said control changeover distributor; and a reception level indicator connected to said microcomputer means for extracting a reception level signal from the plural control signals produced by said plural receivers and fed to said microcomputer means for indicating the reception levels of said broadcasting signals.

Claim 8

A satellite broadcasting reception system comprising: plural satellite antennas, a changeover distributor for switching among plural broadcasting signals obtained from plural electromagnetic waves received from said plural satellite antennas, plural signal cables for respectively transmitting plural broadcasting signals produced upon reception of the plural electromagnetic waves by said plural satellite antennas, plural receivers connected respectively to said plural signal cables for receiving the plural signals transmitted over said plural signal cables and for respectively producing plural control signals transmitted back over said plural signal cables, wherein each said plural control signal comprises a signal modulating voice sampling clocks as a carrier; microcomputer means connected to said plural signal cables for decoding said control signals and producing plural changeover signals fed to said control changeover distributor; and a reception level indicator connected to said microcomputer means for extracting a reception level signal from the plural control signals produced by said plural receivers and fed to said microcomputer means for indicating the reception levels of said broadcasting signals.

Claim 9

The satellite broadcasting reception system as defined in claim 6 wherein the electromagnetic waves are broadcast by broadcasting satellite or communication satellite.
