Tutorial 8

1. The document provides tutorial problems related to satellite communications. It includes calculating path loss for uplink and downlink frequencies, finding the system noise temperature of an earth station receiver, and determining the EIRP and transmitter output power needed to saturate a satellite transponder. 2. The final problem asks to design a C-band receiving earth station to provide an overall C/N ratio of 13 dB in a 27 MHz bandwidth. Given the antenna and LNA noise temperatures, it involves calculating the required diameter of the receiving antenna located on the 3 dB contour of the satellite footprint.

TUTORIAL-8

1. Low earth orbit satellites use mainly L band, with ranges varying from 1000 km
to 2,500 km. Calculate the maximum and minimum path loss from earth to a
satellite, in dB, for the uplink frequency of 1.6 GHz, and the downlink
frequency of 1.5 GHz.
2. A 12 GHz earth station receiving system has an antenna with a noise
temperature of 50K, a LNA with a noise temperature of 100 K and a gain of 40
dB, and a mixer with a noise temperature of 1000 K. Find the system noise
temperature.
3. A satellite in GEO orbit is a distance of 39,000 km from an earth station. The
required flux density at the satellite to saturate one transponder at a frequency
of 14.3 GHz is -90.0 dBW/m2. The earth station has a transmitting antenna with
a gain of 52 dB at 14.3 GHz.
Find:
a. The EIRP of the earth station
b. The output power of the earth station transmitter.

3. Design a C-band receiving earth station to provide an


overall clear air C/N of 13 dB in a 27 MHz IF noise
bandwidth at a carrier frequency of 4.06 GHz. The antenna
noise temperature is 20 K and the LNA noise temperature is
55 K.
You may assume a high gain LNA and ignore the noise generated
in other parts of the receiver. The C-band satellite transponder
is operated with 1 dB output backoff. Clear air Atmospheric
attenuation on the downlink and other losses total 0.5 dB.
Determine the diameter of the receiving antenna, assuming
an aperture efficiency of 65%. The receiving terminal is
located on the 3 dB contour of the satellite footprint.
Reminder: Overall C/N includes the effect of noise radiated by
the satellite transponder.
