How long does it take a signal to reach a satellite in low Earth orbit?
From Earth to an orbiting satellite it takes approximately 200 to 299million M/S or slightly slower than the speed oflight. This varies on weather and atmospheric conditions. The signal is significantly faster, or closer to the speed of light (299792458 M/S), in the Vacuum of Outer Space.
Transferring a signal from a ground station to a satellite is called?
Uplinking.
How do you convert analog signal to digital in satellite transmission?
You sample the signal to get a number, base that number in binary, and store it. Do it often.
What is meant by a geostationary orbit and what is it used for?
A satellite in a geostationary orbit goes around the earth at the same angular speed that the earth spins on its axis. So to someone on the earth the satellite looks like its not moving because its always at the same location above the earth. These satellites are used for communication purposes. For example, TV stations can reflect their signal off of such a satellite by aiming their transmitter at it. They don't have to change their aim because the satellite is always there. Satellite dish receivers can easily pick up the reflected signal just by aiming the dish antenna at the satellite and again you don't have to change this aim because the satellite is always there. The satellites have to be in a circular orbit above the equator in order for it to be put in a geostationary orbit.
What is the speed of a satellite that moves in an eliptical orbit around the earth?
If a satellite is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, the Earth will be at one of the focii. The speed of the satellite will then constantly be changing. It will move the fastest when it is nearest to the Earth (perigee) and slowest when it is furthest away (apogee).

Why No signal from satellite?
There are many reasons why you may have no signal from your satellite. Your service could have been disconnected for example.
Why does satellite radio fade out?
The satellite signal can be blocked by various things.
What causes the sporadic loss of satellite signal?
The satellite signal uses microwave radiation and water absorbs microwaves. So when it rains or there are thick clouds the signal from the satellite gets absorbed and if enough is lost by this process your Dish Network receiver will lose signal
What are telecommunication links?
In satellite communication, up link refers to the signal traveling up to the satellite while down link refers to the signal coming from the satellite down to earth.
What is the purpose of a satellite antenna?
A satellite antenna has one very important purpose. It is designed to allow a home to receive a satellite signal, which then allows users to receive a television signal.
How does gpss work?
It sends a signal directly to the satellite and the satellite pinpoints the location of it.
What is satellite footprint?
A satellite footprint refers to the area on Earth's surface where the satellite signal is received. It is the geographical coverage range of the satellite's signal transmission. The footprint size and shape depend on factors like satellite altitude, beam characteristics, and antenna design.
Does snow knock out satellites signal?
Inclement weather in the form of heavy rain, snow, or thick cloud cover can affect your satellite signal - it is known as rain fade. The satellite signal is fragmented as it attempts to pass through the heavy rain drops causing signal loss or pixelation (breaking up). This occurs with all satellite signal.
What carries a signal from a satellite to a dish?
the alternator
What describes a signal with a frequency of 20GHz in a satellite radio transmissions?
A downlink signal; a Ka Band signal
How do satellites and TV signals work?
Satellite TV Providers transmits the signals through their satellite dish converting it first from digital signals to analog signals. These signals which were converted will be transmitted to the satellite. The satellite will then transmit the analog signals per request of the satellite dish connected to the receiver of the subscriber. Once signals are received, it will be converted back to digital signals which can be read by the receiver and be displayed to the television.
