T1
The transmission bit rate of 1.544 millions bits per second. This is also equivalent to the ISDN Primary Rate Interface for the U.S. The European T1 or E1 transmission rate is 2.048 million bits per second.
T3 Channel (DS-3)
In North America, a digital channel which communicates at 45.304 Mbps.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol. The major transport protocol in the Internet suite of protocols providing reliable, connection-oriented, full-duplex streams. Uses IP for delivery.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The network protocol used with Digital Equipment Corporations VAX systems, as well as the Internet.
TDMA
Time division multiple access. Refers to a form of multiple access where a single carrier is the shared by many users. Signals from earth stations reaching the satellite consecutively are processed in time segments without overlapping.
TI - Terrestrial Interference
Interference to satellite reception caused by ground based microwave transmitting stations.
Transmission Key
The key under which each source keylist file is encrypted. the Transmission key is used to activate a unit keylist.
Transmitter
An electronic device consisting of oscillator, modulator and other circuits which produce a radio or television electromagnetic wave signal for radiation into the atmosphere by an antenna.
Transponder
A combination receiver, frequency converter, and transmitter package, physically part of a communications satellite. Transponders have a typical output of five to ten watts, operate over a frequency band with a 36 to 72 megahertz bandwidth in the L, C, Ku, and sometimes Ka Bands or in effect typically in the microwave spectrum, except for mobile satellite communications. Communications satellites typically have between 12 and 24 onboard transponders although the INTELSAT VI at the extreme end has 50.
TVRO
Television Receive Only terminals that use antenna reflectors and associated electronic equipment to receive and process television and audio communications via satellite. Typically small home systems.
Tweeking
The process of adjusting an electronic circuit to optimize its performance.
TWTA
Traveling wave tube amplifier.
