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.
In general, broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Satellite communications are in general broadband in terms of this understanding as only a limited number of frequencies may be used.
