The antenna and associated equipment used to receive and/or transmit telecommunications signals via satellite ENTELEC: Energy TELECommunications and electrical association, the oldest nationwide user group in telecommunications ESMR: Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio An enhancement of SMR technology, allowing two-way radio service with the capability to provide wireless voice telephone service to compete against cellular
a station which receives or retransmits signals received from satellites English error: the definition says, in part, either (a) a station which receives satellites or (b) a station which receives signals received from satellites What Oxford is trying to say is a station which receives, or receives and retransmits, signals from satellites
A satellite communications facility (a satellite dish and associated equipment) located on the earth's surface (or on a building, ship or other mobile vehicle)
The ground equipment, including a dish and other electronics components needed to receive and/or transmit satellite telecommunications signals An "uplink" is used for sending information to a satellite for distribution to various earth receiving stations, while a "downlink" is used to receive such information
An installation (antenna and associated equipment) located on the earth's surface and intended for communication with one or more satellites The term is usually understood to refer to the ensemble of equipment that is needed to effect communications via satellite
Any system (combination of satellite antenna, amplification, conversion, and reception electronics) that can either transmit to or receive signals from orbiting satellites
Used to receive signals from a satellite Consists of a small 'dish' antenna, with an outdoor electronics unit, connected by cable to an indoor electronics unit Also known as a satellite receiver
Hardware necessary to acquire data directly from environmental satellites The WEFAX Earth station diagram illustrates a basic ground station configuration for obtaining direct readout data from geostationary environmental (weather) satellites (See diagram--WEFAX Earth station )
An on-ground terminal linked to a spacecraft or satellite by an antenna and associated electronic equipment for the purpose of transmitting or receiving messages, tracking, or control
