Transponder
A transponder is a device for receiving and rebroadcasting a signal. Usually, this signal is amplified by the transponder, and can be encoded or modified in other ways.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A transponder is a device for receiving and rebroadcasting a signal. Usually, this signal is amplified by the transponder, and can be encoded or modified in other ways.
Satellite transponders are a part of the payload of a satellite and are used for receiving and transmission of uplinked signals. The signals transmitted from earth are received by the satellites at very low power level due to the big distance difference between the transmitter and the satellite. The transponders on the satellite are configured to perform at different frequency range for different transponders to amplify the low power signals received. The high power amplifiers (HPA) present in the transponders perform the function of amplification. The amplified signals are then re-transmitted back to earth by the satellite.
