The device in communication satellites which receives signals from an earth station and transmits them to different directions is
Options:
A .  Transistor
B .  Transducer
C .  Transponder
D .  Transformer
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
In telecommunication, a transponder is one of two types of devices. In air navigation or radio frequency identification, a transponder is a device that emits an identifying signal in response to an interrogating received signal.
In a communications satellite, a transponder gathers signals over a range of uplink frequencies 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.
The term is a portmanteau for Transmitter-responder.
