Assignment 3 Study Table 5.

2 Earth Terminal to Satellite Link Budget Example: Frequency = 8 GHz, Range = 21, 915 Nautical Miles (1.853 km = 1 nautical mile). Show and/or explain how each calculated value was determined with respect to the equations developed in Chapter 5 and illustrated in Section 5.6. [50 Marks]

Solution

1. The transmitted power(Pt) in dBW was calculated as shown below:

Pt=10logP Pt=10log100 Pt=20dBW The power transmitted power is thus 20dBW 2. The Loss is 2dB (transmitter circuit loss is the noise in the resistive elements comparing the transmitter) 3. The transmit antenna gain Gt is calculated using the formula

Gt=

, Ap is the physical area of the antenna related to the effective

area of the antenna Ae using the efficiency parameter as shown below :

Ap=

Ap=

. Therefore Ap=

=29.1871m2.

The effective area of the antenna Ae is thus 29.1871 where the value of is 0.55.

Transmit antenna gain is thus,

Gt=

=143450.2188.

Gt=10log143450.2188= 51.56701215dBi

The transmit antenna gain is thus 51.6dBi

4. EIRP=Pt Gt,

EIRP=143450.2188

100 = 14345021.88

EIRP =10log 14345021.88 = 71.5670

there is a loss of 2dB; true value of EIRP should take care of this loss Ls.

EIRP is thus,

EIRP=71.56701

EIRP=69.56701dB

EIRP is thus 69.6dB.

We therefore realize that EIRP is calculated by adding all the gains and losses so far. EIRP is thus

EIRP=Pt -Lo+Gt, EIRP=20-2+51.6 = 69.6dB

5. Path loss Ls in dB is;

It follows d=21, 915 Nautical Miles, this gives us d=21, 915 X 1.853 X 1000 = 40608495m.

the wavelength is given by c/f= Path loss is;

=10log

=202.67590dB

Path loss is thus 202.7dB

6. Fade Allowance in dB, L0 is thus determined during the link calculation

7. Other losses in dB, L0 are thus; determined on link calculations since they vary

8. The received Isotropic Power in dBW is the sum of all the losses and gains so far.

Pt-L0+Gt-Ls- L0- L0=20-2+51.6-202.7-4-6=-143.1

The Received Isotropic Power is thus -143.1dBW

9. Receive antenna gain Gr in dBi is;

= But we are told that Aer= Ap where is equal to 0.55 for a parabolic dish antenna, we therefore have; Aer= 0.0375m from above, =0.361190571m2 but wavelength is

the receive antenna gain is;

Gr=

=3227.62992

Gr=10log3227.629922=35.088837

Gr=35.1dBi.

The Receive antenna gain is thus 35.1dBi

10.Edge of coverage loss in dB, is due to the off axis antenna gain and to the increased range for users at the extreme edge of communication coverage which is equal 2dB

11.Received signal power Pr in dBW,

Taking other losses into consideration, we get;

-96.0-2-4-6-2=-110.0dB

Received power signal with losses taken into consideration is thus -110.0dB

12.System temperature Ts in dB-K is ;

Ts=TA+TR=300+3806=4106K

Ts=10log4106=36.1dB.

The System temperature in dB-K is thus 36.1dB-K

13.The System

in dB/K receiver figure of merit

14.Boltzmanns constant

in dBW/K-Hz is;

W/K-Hz

dBW/K-Hz

Boltzmann constant in dBW/K-Hz is thus -228.6dBW/K-Hz

15.Noise Spectral density

(thermal Noise AGWN)

=kT or

= k + T = -228.6+36.1 = -192.65

-192.5 -110= 82.5dBW/Hz

16.It follows that

192.5-110=82.5dB/Hz 17. Data Rate is as follows R = 18. It follows that bits/ s =63dB

= 82.5Db-Hz -63.01dB-bits/sec =19.49dB

19. Implementation loss it follows that L0 =1.5dB 20. Required is 10dB 21 Margin= 19.5 -1.5-10 = 8dB
