| Abstract from DBPedia | In telecommunications, a transponder is a device that, upon receiving a signal, emits a different signal in response. The term is a blend of transmitter and responder. In air navigation or radio frequency identification, a flight transponder is an automated transceiver in an aircraft that emits a coded identifying signal in response to an interrogating received signal. In a communications satellite, a satellite transponder receives signals over a range of uplink frequencies, usually from a satellite ground station; the transponder amplifies them, and re-transmits them on a different set of downlink frequencies to receivers on Earth, often without changing the content of the received signal or signals.トランスポンダ（Transponder）とは、Transmitter（送信機）とresponder（応答機）からの合成語 で、受信した電気信号を中継送信したり、電気信号と光信号を相互に変換したり、受信信号に何らかの応答を返す機器の総称である。 通信分野では中継器、電波応用分野では応答装置、航空交通管制分野では二次レーダーとも呼ばれる。略称トラポン。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Transponder) |
