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 a
single transmission frequency.
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit sev-
eral TV and several radio programmes on one
transmission frequency. If a channel provider is
broadcasting several TV channels via a digital
transponder, we may talk about the provider's
channel package. The terms “digital transponder”
and “channel package” have the same meaning.
