This document contains a link budget for two carriers on the DIRECTV 1R satellite over Russia. It provides technical details on the uplink and downlink frequencies, modulations, bandwidths, transmitter parameters, receiver parameters, and link performance metrics like C/N ratios and interference levels. The link meets the minimum C/N requirements with excess margin of 3.3-5.8 dB depending on the earth station configuration and location within the satellite beam.
