Uplinking
Uplinking is the transmission of signals from an earth-based transmitter to a satellite or relay node. In satellite communications, the uplink describes the path from the ground station to the satellite, while the corresponding downlink carries signals from the satellite back to Earth. Uplinks are a critical part of how information is relayed between terrestrial networks and space-based assets.
A typical uplink system includes a directional ground antenna (often a large parabolic dish), a high-power transmitter,
Beyond space communications, the word uplinking is sometimes used in terrestrial networks to describe connecting an
Applications and challenges: Uplinks are essential for television distribution, satellite Internet, data relay between networks, and
