Satellite

    Cards (5)

    • A signal is sent from station A to the satellite and the satellite amplifies the signal and sends it to station B
    • The satellite can be used as a repeater, which means that it receives signals from one place on Earth and retransmits them back to another location.
    • Satellites are also used for navigation purposes, such as GPS (Global Positioning System).
    • GPS uses satellites to determine your exact position on Earth by measuring how long it takes for radio waves to travel between your device and multiple satellites.
    • Many weak signals hit the curved dish, they reflect back to the focal point and makes the signal strong
