Carrier-in-carrier is a world-class bandwidth compression In telecommunication, the term bandwidth compression has the following meanings:
  • The reduction of the bandwidth needed to transmit a given amount of data in a given time.
  • The reduction of the time needed to transmit a given amount of data in a given bandwidth.

It receives a microwave signal from earth (uplink), amplifies it and retransmits it back to earth at a different frequency (downlink). A satellite has several transponders.  space.

Before transmission, the data are processed through an algorithm that adds extra bits for error correction.
