FAQ: Q1) Do the two phase shifts from beam steering and 64QAM mess each other up? A: No. For transmission, the data is encoded into the 64QAM signal and sent to all the beamformers where then the beam steering phase shift is added. Then the signal is sent to the front-end modules which increases the power for the patch antennas.

Way cool. Very interesting process. I'm glad there are smart people in the world who understand all this stuff.

The fact that a YouTube channel produces greater content than a big science tv channel while in the same time making it easy to understand blows me always. Your videos are so good (and infrequent (in a good way (for quality))) always leave me wondering how do you people make do. Anyway, keep up the amazing work.

With my degree in physics, all the concepts are pretty natural and intuitive for me, but my mind is still blown to realize that some engineers and technicians actually made it real, and error proof, and commercialized it! And as a teacher, I can still say that you did an amazing job explaining how these things work. Great job, and thank you!

Watching via Starlink

I am absolutely ASTONISHED by the technology behind Starlink, and equally STUNNED by the effort Branch Education put to make it so accessible... This is very high quality content !

This is the best explanation of phased array antennas that I have ever seen, especially from a layman's point of view. Great job!

I am a radio engineer. I just want to say....Waw, explaining beam forming using massive antenna array ! That is very hard thing to do but you had the simplest and clearest explanation that I have ever seen!

This is the epitome of YouTube. The fact that such high quality educational content is free is one of the few things that give me hope that technology and understating is the true epitome of research of advancement in society.

Network engineer here, with a physics background. Refreshing to see an accurate, techy video that breaks down so much of the system. It's a rabbit hole of information but you managed to cover everything in enough detail to introduce it, while allowing the audience to choose whether they want to go further into the rabbit hole. Many of the techniques used by starlink are used in your home WiFi, or other systems you're familiar with. Starlink brings a lot of things together (including Elons infinite wallet) in a way that hasn't been done before.

As a satcom engineer with over 40 years of experience in the field, I can say that you did a really good job of distilling this information down to something a layperson can grasp. Well done. I would point out that in addition to receive only satellite TV antennas that communicate with geostationary satellites, there are also two way antennas that communicate to GSO satellites as well, along with other variants which provided two way communications with other non-geostationary satellite networks in different orbits.

I believe this might be the best video I have ever seen on YouTube in my life. No exaggeration. The technology of starlink. The script of this video. The animations. I’m in awe

This channel has to be one of the greatest channels on YouTube. Actually, the best educational content ever created in media. You don't ever get this level of detail and explanation on a multimillion dollar production on TV.

My background is in electronic engineering. I've watched thousands of YouTube videos and I've never seen a more professionally made and complete video as this one. Just enough detail to not be overwhelming but complete enough to get the thought across. Excellent.

Small nitpicks - in the orbital animation at 2:50 TV satellites should be shown to be geostationary, orbiting above the same area as the earth rotates. This is important because it explains why TV dishes can point at a single point in the sky, while Starlink beams need to be electronically steered. Furthermore, while the earth is correctly shown as rotating counterclockwise from the north pole, both satellites are orbiting in the wrong direction, east to west, while nearly all satellites orbit west to east to take advantage of earth's velocity. Overall though, very nice video that explains complex electronic and communications concepts.

I worked as a radio and antenna engineer for over 30 years. This video really provides an extraordinary explanation. Thank you so much for giving us videos like this. We are waiting for other great videos

I have been in the RF, Radar, and Comms industry since 1972. I have to say this is the best explanation of RF and the Antenna theory explanation I've seen. Thank you.

As an engineer and semi-physicist who understands these topics quite well, I was looking for a summary/visual to help explain it to less technical people. This is very well done, and unlike many presentations on the internet, there is no glaringly wrong information. A testament to the research done. Assumptions and simplifications are identified. Good job indeed.

I'm a phd student working on these kinds of projects, and I want to applaud you. This is the cleanest and clearest explanation of phased array antennas I've seen and will be super helpful in helping me explain what I do to others

Having completed my bachelor's in electronics and communication engineering and master's in electrical engineering I was able to follow the entire video pretty comfortably and everytime I see these seemingly unrelated concepts all coming together and get things done my mind is completely blown! Electrical engineering is beautiful. Thanks for such an amazing video and explanation.
