    What is a spot beam in reference to satellite TV?

    Question #69533. Asked by denmarks. (Aug 09 06 6:55 PM)

    		A spot beam, in telecommunications parlance, is a satellite signal that is specially concentrated in power so that it will cover only a limited geographic area. Spot beams are used so that only earth stations in a particular intended reception area can properly receive the satellite signal.
