Transponder
A transponder is a frequency converter which receives TV
and radio signals broadcast from the earth, converts them
and the rebroadcasts them back 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 several
TV and several radio programmes on a transmission
frequency. If a programme 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.
