Satellite transponders receive electromagnetic or radiofrequency signals from the
Earth, amplify these, and send them back to the Earth. These are important elements
in communication satellites and receive signals with the help of frequency changers. A
satellite consists of a number of transponders, which are used to receive a specified
band of frequencies. A typical transponder provides a capacity of 36 MHz, which is the
requisite for broadcasting an analog channel.
Over the one decade, nanotechnology has emerged as a practical alternative for
producing various aircraft parts and components to the conventional manufacturing
process. The advances in engineering technologies and the material selection process
have significantly supported the adoption of nanotechnology in the global aerospace
industry. Technavio expects that the global aerospace nanotechnology market will post
a CAGR of 5.75%, reaching $5.951 billion in 2021 from $4.5 billion in 2016.
The global transportation industry is progressively adopting decarbonisation strategies.
These have been relatively accomplished in transportation companies through the
adoption of land-based transportation but are yet to establish in the shipping industry.
This is due to the fact that the global maritime industry is heavily dependent on fossil
fuels. Additionally, oil prices have also encountered an all-time low, which further acts
as a deterrent factor for shipping companies to shift toward a more carbon-free
economy.
