Q5 a) Suppose a 4 GHz receiver with the following gains and noise temperature: 23 , = 25 , = 30 mixer gain , = 50 , = 1000 , = 500 , (5) = . Calculate the system noise temperature assuming =0 . Recalculate system noise temperature when mixer has a gain of 10 dB loss. How can the system noise temperature of the receiver be minimized when mixer has a loss of 10 dB. b) An earth station situated in Docklands of London, England needs to calculate the look angles to a geostationary satellite in the Indian Ocean operated by Intelsat. The details of the earth station site and the satellite are: earth station latitude and longitude are 52 0 Satellite longitude is 66.0 (5) Q6 a) Explain propagation effects and their impact on satellite that is not (5) associated with hydrometers. A C-band earth station has an antenna with a transmit gain of 54 dB. The transmitter output power is set to 100 W at a frequency of 6.1 GHz. The signal is received by a satellite at a distance of 37,500 km by an antenna with a gain of 26 dB. The signal is then routed to a transponder with a noise temperature of 500 K, a bandwidth of 36 MHz and a gain of 110 dB a. Calculate the path loss at 6.1 GHz b. Calculate the power at the output port of the satellite antenna in dBW. c. Calculate the noise power at the transponder input in dBW in a bandwidth of 36 MHz d. Calculate the C/N ratio in dB e. Calculate the carrier power in dBW (10) Write short answer on any TWO: a) VSAT (5 x 2) b) Attitude and Orbit Control System(AOCS) c) FDMA d) Satellite Antennas 2 Q8 (5) Page Q7 b) A low earth orbit satellite is in a circular polar orbit with an altitude, h, of 1000 km. A transmitter on the satellite has a frequency of 2.65 GHz. Find (i) the velocity of the satellite in orbit (ii) the Doppler shift of the received signal at the earth station. Use earth radius as 6378 km. the satellite also carries a Ka-band transmitter at 20 GHz.
