This corresponds to an inter-satellite spacing of approximately 73 km. The major consideration for spacing of geostationary satellites is the beamwidth at-orbit of uplink transmitters, which is primarily a factor of the size and stability of the uplink dish, as well as what frequencies the satellite's transponders receive; satellites with ...
v. t. e. A satellite dish is a dish-shaped type of parabolic antenna designed to receive or transmit information by radio waves to or from a communication satellite. The term most commonly means a dish which receives direct-broadcast satellite television from a direct broadcast satellite in geostationary orbit .
DISH Network L.L.C. (an acronym for "Digital Sky Highway" [ 1] ), a subsidiary of EchoStar, provides multichannel television and satellite television via DISH Network as well as over-the-top IPTV services via Sling TV .
A low-noise block downconverter ( LNB) is the receiving device mounted on satellite dishes used for satellite TV reception, which collects the radio waves from the dish and converts them to a signal which is sent through a cable to the receiver inside the building. Also called a low-noise block, [ 1][ 2] low-noise converter ( LNC ), or even low ...
A 2.5 m parabolic dish antenna for bidirectional satellite Internet access. A very-small-aperture terminal ( VSAT) [ 1] is a two-way satellite ground station with a dish antenna that is smaller than 3.8 meters. The majority of VSAT antennas range from 75 cm to 1.2 m. Bit rates, in most cases, range from 4 kbit/s up to 16 Mbit/s.
Universal Satellites Automatic Location System (USALS), also known (unofficially) as DiSEqC 1.3, Go X or Go to XX is a satellite dish motor protocol that automatically creates a list of available satellite positions in a motorised satellite dish setup. It is used in conjunction with the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol. It was developed by STAB, an Italian ...
We're well on our way to completing the Tesla Coil Wonder in CityVille, having already completed the Science Center and Nanotechnology School in our towns. Now, we're ready to build the Satellite ...
t. e. A communications satellite is an artificial satellite that relays and amplifies radio telecommunication signals via a transponder; it creates a communication channel between a source transmitter and a receiver at different locations on Earth. Communications satellites are used for television, telephone, radio, internet, and military ...
