The satellites which broadcast satellite television signals to homes and businesses are essentially orbital repeating stations. A transponder on a television satellite receives a television signal beamed from large satellite uplink stations on the ground, then processes, encodes, amplifies and rebroadcasts the signal over a large area of the Earth s surface. There, it is picked up by small satellite receivers and transmitted to a digital receiver [...]
