DEF

Wireless microwave transmission system for point-to-multipoint transmission. Operates in the 27.5 to 28.35 GHz range and 29.2 to 29.325 GHz range.

OBS

Much like MMDS, but using a different frequency band and carrying up to 49 channels. The receiving antenna is much smaller : a dish six inches across that can fit on a window sill. The signal is less prone to obstruction than MMDS because it is frequency-modulated, like FM radio. But like MMDS, the transmission range is short. Source : NYT_950418

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The above deck equipment is usually some form of tracking dish, with a circular polarized feed arrangement. This usually takes the form of an helical antenna, wound with left-hand circular polarization. The signal from the satellite is right-hand circular polarization, but since the signal is reflected by the dish, polarization sense is reversed. This is the same principle as if you were to look in a mirror; your image is reversed.
