Right polarized signal to overlap with the same frequencies of a Left polarized signal In layman s terms a linearly polarized signal from a satellite approaches the earth as a wave that goes up and down like the waves on the ocean or from side to side These two types of waves are classified as being vertically or horizontally polarized Polarization is very useful because it allows the frequency of a vertically polarized signal to overlap with the same frequencies of a Horizontally polarized signal Random access memory Used for short term storage of information requiring quick access on a computer Information stored in RAM can be accessed by the computer much faster than information on the Hard Drive can be accessed Each satellite in orbit has several channels that it can use each with its own RF Frequency Each channel is often referred to as a transponder The easiest way to understand them is to think of your FM radio There are many channels on the FM dial that one can choose from 99 9 FM All Rock All the Time When you input the station number to your FM receiver you are actually telling it wnat RF Frequency it should look at 99 9 FM means that 99 9 Mega Hz is the desired frequency But unlike the FM radio where the channel you tune to only contains one stream of music a Satellite channel contains many individual signals One channel can contain Internet data and video and audio and specialized data in any number of permutat
