How is a signal radiated from an Inmarsat-B or F77 system's antenna?

  • Correct Answer
    It is a highly focused directional signal that must be beamed at the desired satellite.
  • It is radiated in an omni-directional pattern.
  • It is radiated in an omni-directional pattern that can be reversed by the Operator to attain directional beaming to an alternate satellite.
