broadcast translator

In broadcasting, a translator is an FM radio station or a TV station which acts as a full-duplex repeater. Just as a verbal translator (person) listens in one language and speaks in another, a broadcast translator receives a signal from one channel and transmits it again, usually on another channel or other frequency assignment, extending the range of the original signals into areas that cannot receive them otherwise. This is common in Australia and the Americas, especially in the United States, and in mountainous regions.
