Transponder
A transponder is a frequency converter which
receives TV and radio signals broadcast from the
earth, converts them and the rebroadcasts them
to the earth at a different frequency. A satellite
has several transponders.
Analogue transponders transmit only one TV
channel and possibly multiple radio channels on
the transmission frequency.
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit
several TV and several radio programmes
on one transmission frequency. If a channel
provider is broadcasting several TV channels
via a digital transponder, we refer to the
provider's channel package. The terms “digital
transponder” and “channel package” have the
same meaning.
