 | | At the receiving site, the small amount of signal received from the transmitting site is directed by the reflector to the feedhorn, down the waveguide, through a filtering network and into the down-converter, where it is amplified and converted back to the IF frequency. |
 | | It is then amplified again by the IF amplifier, before being converted, in the demodulator, back to the baseband frequency. |
 | | Finally, it is routed to the multiplex to be broken up into individual circuits, again. |
