Gold Member Username: Crazy_greekPost Number: 1166 Registered: Jul-06 | zulu Very interesting but, not what Iam looking for. This website is about a very small Amateur Satellite with two to four flex wip UHF, VHF Antennas. Thanks much for your time.I will keep looking, it has to be out there. BTW wouldn't you think that the TPs be located outside in order to receive the uplink signals. Just like a repeater tower. |

Silver Member Username: RunnerguyPluto Post Number: 626 Registered: Sep-06 | Nice pic Nikk.....Transponder by definition: Transponder A combination receiver, frequency converter, and transmitter package, physically part of a communications satellite. Transponders have a typical output of five to ten watts, operate over a frequency band with a 36 to 72 megahertz bandwidth in the L, C, Ku, and sometimes Ka Bands or in effect typically in the microwave spectrum, except for mobile satellite communications. Communications satellites typically have between 12 and 24 onboard transponders although the INTELSAT VI at the extreme end has 50. |
