Administrative Rules on Radio and Television Broadcasters’ establishment of Earth Stations Article 2
The terms as used herein shall be defined as follows:1. “Radio and Television Broadcaster” means an operator obtaining an approval from the Government Information Office of the competent authority according to the regulations relating to radio and television broadcasting to operate or produce television broadcasting services.2. “Relay” means a device that receives, amplifies, converts and transmits radio telecommunications signals.3. “Satellite Organizations” means the domestic or international organizations approved by related international satellite organizations or institutes to possess satellites either in orbit or imminently to be launched into orbit and to operate satellite systems.4. “Satellite Transponder (hereinafter referred to as transponder)” means a communications relay device placed on a satellite. Its function includes receiving uplink signals from earth stations, amplifying and converting them into downlink signals, then re-amplifying the signals before transmitting them to earth.5. “Earth Station” means a facility that receives, processes and transmits the signals of broadcast television programs between earth and satellites.6. “Up-link” means the wireless link formed by transmission from an earth station to a satellite.7. “Down-link” means the wireless link formed by transmission from a satellite to an earth station.8. “Primary Services” means the services that use the radio spectra allocated by the competent authority, and have the right not to suffer any interference from other radio spectra used by other services.9. “Secondary Services” means the services that use the radio spectra allocated by the competent authority that shall not interfere with primary services. The secondary services must further accept radio spectrum interference from the primary services.10. “Encryption” means the technology to encode a program signal so that those that have not installed an authorized decoder cannot receive the signal.11. “Compression Technology” means the technology that converts and processes signals to reduce the quantity of data needed so that the bandwidth required to transmit the signals is narrowed.12. “Engineering Manager” means an individual in charge of matters relating to engineering techniques at the earth station and responsible for and in supervision of construction, maintenance and operation of earth station facilities.
中文原文 廣播電視業者設置地球電臺管理辦法第2條
本辦法所用名詞定義如下：
一、廣播電視業者：指依廣播電視相關規定，由主管機關核准經營或製播廣播電視業務之業者。
二、中繼：指將無線電信號接收、放大、變頻並轉發。
三、衛星機構：指擁有在太空運作或即將運作並在國際電信聯合會登錄之衛星之國內外機構或組織。
四、衛星轉頻器（以下簡稱轉頻器）：指設置於衛星上之通信中繼設備，其功用為接收地球電臺發射之上鏈信號、將其放大、變換成下鏈頻率，再經功率放大後向地面發射。
五、地球電臺：指在地球上與衛星間做廣播電視節目信號接收、處理、發射之設備。
六、上鏈：指地球電臺發射至衛星所構成之無線電鏈路。
七、下鏈：指衛星發射至地球電臺所構成之無線電鏈路。
八、主要業務：指經主管機關指配使用之無線電頻率，有權不受其他業務無線電頻率干擾之業務。
九、次要業務：指經主管機關指配使用之無線電頻率，不得干擾主要業務，且須忍受主要業務無線電頻率干擾之業務。
十、鎖碼：指將節目信號適當編碼，使未裝設合法授權之解碼器者無法收信之技術。
十一、壓縮技術：指將信號經轉換、處理過程，以減少所需資訊量，使傳送該信號所需頻寬縮小之技術。
十二、工程主管：綜理地球電臺全盤工程技術事項，並負責及監督地球電臺設備之施工、維護及運作者。
