Single Channel Per Carrier. In SCPC systems, each communication signal is individually modulated onto its own carrier which is used to convey that signal to the end user. A number of similar carriers share a common satellite transponder and use a unique portion of its bandwidth. Each carrier supports a single communication channel only (e.g. one-half of a voice circuit), hence the phrase "single channel per carrier".
Single Channel Per Character
Single Channel Per Carrier. Technique whereby a single digitally-coded service is placed on one carrier. It is a spectrum efficient way of delivering a single digital service using only a portion of the bandwidth, alongside an analogue service, for example. SCPC is usually used for occasional transmission such as business television, ENG, etc. The alternative to SCPC is multiple channel per carrier (MCPC) where several services are multiplexed on a single carrier. It s the transmission technique usually chosen for delivery of entertainment services.
Single Channel Per Carrier. A scheme in which only one signal is loaded on a carrier. See MCPC.
Single Channel Per Carrier Access method for a large number of signals to go through a single transponder
Single channel per carrier. A satellite operation technique where one carrier is assigned to a voice or data channel.
Single Channel Per Carrier. A communications system in which each circuit has its own carrier frequency within a transponder.
Single Channel per Carrier. A satellite transmission method which employs a separate carrier for each channel, as opposed to Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) that combines many channels on a single carrier.
