The uplink and downlink transmitters use separate frequency bands for transmissions ; therefore, both downlink and uplink transmitters can transmit at all times and at the same time [3].
Read moreWhy is it that the uplink is always higher in frequency than the downlink?
In satellite communication, the uplink frequency is higher than the downlink frequency because the attenuation level increase with an increase in frequency . The power at the ground station (Base Station) is more than compared to the power available at the satellite.
