Single channel per carrier

36: 306:), several subcarriers are combined or multiplexed into a single bitstream before being modulated onto a carrier transmitted from a single location to one or more remote sites. This uses 348:
The major disadvantage of MCPC is that all of the signals must be sent to a single place first, then combined for retransmission — a major reason for using SCPC instead.

In an SCPC system, satellite bandwidth is dedicated to a single source. This makes sense if it is being used for something like
