Hi all, The two transponders are not built exactly the same way. The Indian transponder has an AGC - but according to my memory Williams transponder has a diode limiter.
I think that can be the difference. In theory the AGC will regulate the gain down so that the "stronger" station "drowns" the ones with a lower uplink signal. The diode limiter will of course limit the signal for the strong stations - but also create distortion in a broad frequency range for all stations. That is if there is a very strong signal - or many stations at the same time. Whatever the reason KEEP THE POWER DOWN 73 OZ1MY/Ib _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
