Global Satellite Transponder Market: Overview
The satellite transponders are part of the payload of a satellite. They are mainly used for transmitting and receiving the uplinked signals. Approximately 15 to 30 transponders can be found in a single satellite. The signals that are transmitted by the satellites to the earth are of very low power level owing to the huge difference in the distance between the satellite and the transmitter. The configuration of the transponders is made at different frequency ranges so that the low power signals that are received can be amplified. The transponders also consist of high power amplifiers to perform the function of amplification. The amplified signals are transmitted by the satellite back to the earth.
