TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The present disclos ure generally relates to satellite signal measurement in Direct To Home (DTH) broadcasting service and more particularly, to method and system for signal measurement of multiple satellites.
BACKGROUND
[002] DTH broadcasting is a digital satellite service that delivers television service directly to consumers home through a personal dish. A DTH network is made up of several components, including a broadcasting center, satellites, encoders, multiplexers, modulators, and DTH receivers. Generally, the DTH broadcasting center receives signals from plurality of content sources and broadcasts/sends the combined contents of plurality of sources to the geostationary orbit satellites at a particular bandwidth. The antenna receives the broadcast signal from the geostationary satellite which is then decoded by the setup box and displayed on the display. Sometimes the customer/user faces issues such as pixelization or loss of signal. In the existing system, to resolve the issues, deploys a personal from the DTH operator company to the antenna site for signal measurement of signal parameters of the satellites and tabulating the readings.
[003] The method of the existing system consumes more time and human efforts for measuring the signal parameters of the satellite signals. Therefore, there is a need for the development of an advanced and efficient satellite signal measurement system.

WE CLAIM:
1. A method for signal measurement of multiple satellites used in Direct to House (DTH)
transmission, the method comprises:
receiving, by the processor 203, signal from each of plurality of antennas 101 according to a sequence for measuring the signals transmitted from plurality of satellites using a switch 309;
configuring, by the processor 203, a signal analyzer 310 to measure one or more parameters of the signals 213 received from the plurality of antennas 101; and
storing, by the processor 203, the measured one or more parameters of the signals 213 in a storage unit 103 in digital format.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, receiving signals from each of plurality of antennas 101
comprises configuring the switch 309, wherein configuring the switch 309 comprises:
providing one or more commands to plurality of Communication (COM/IP) ports of the switch 309; and
receiving the signals from the plurality of antennas 101 according to the sequence 211.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein configuring the signal analyzer 310 comprises:
providing one or more input parameters 212 to the signal analyzer 310 for tuning the signal
analyzer 310 to each channel from a plurality of channels according to the sequence 211; and
measuring the one or more parameters of the signals 213 of each channel of the plurality of channels.
4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the one or more input parameters 212 comprises a value of plurality of COM/IP ports, a channel name, and frequency of the channel of which the signals are to be measured.
5. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the one or more parameters comprises channel power, carrier/noise, Bit Error Rate (BER) readings, Margin Error Rate (MER) readings of the signals, etc.
6. An apparatus 102 comprising a memory 202 and a processor 203 configured to:

receive signal from each of plurality of antennas 101 according to a sequence for measuring signals transmitted from plurality of satellites, using a switch 309 connected to the plurality of antennas 101;
configure a signal analyzer 310 to measure one or more parameters of the signals 213 received from the plurality of antennas 101; and
