Spot Beam

A spot beam is a satellite beam which is focused on a relatively small portion of the earths surface.

It may require 20-30 typical spot beams to provide coverage of the entire United States.

The coverage area of a beam on the Earth is referred to as the footprint.

Spot beams are also referred to as narrow beams.

The opposite of a spot beam is a broad beam.
