[amsat-bb] EO-80 FM Transponder doubt

[Greg D]

Yes, Pavel, but since the frequency heard by the satellite as it 
approaches is higher than what you sent, you need to send at a lower 
frequency to compensate.  The idea is that you want the frequency heard 
at the satellite to be constant.

As the satellite passes the midpoint, and recedes from view, the 
frequency it hears is lower than what you transmitted.  So you need to 
send at a higher frequency to compensate, again so that the satellite 
hears a constant signal.

So, during the pass your transmitter needs to go from lower to higher.

The physics works the same for your reception (it better!), but since 
the satellite isn't changing its frequency to be constant at your end, 
you need to move from higher (on approach) to lower (towards LOS) to 
conpensate.
