In satellite telecommunication, a downlink is the link from a satellite down to one or more ground stations or receivers ... 2, record 2, English, - downlink

The higher power of the RADARSAT-2 downlink will permit the size of the ground station antenna to be substantially smaller and subsequently more affordable. The standard RADARSAT-1 antenna is approximately 10 metres in diameter; this can be reduced down to 3 metres for RADARSAT-2. This will allow the use of portable ground stations. 3, record 2, English, - downlink

Une densité de puissance plus élevée en liaison descendante permettra l'utilisation d'antennes réceptrices beaucoup plus petites, et par conséquent moins coûteuses. Une antenne réceptrice utilisée pour RADARSAT-1 a un diamètre d'environ 10 mètres; le diamètre de l'antenne peut être réduit à 3 mètres avec RADARSAT-2. Ceci permettra aussi l'utilisation d'antennes réceptrices mobiles. 3, record 2, French, - liaison%20descendante
