The orbital radius is 42164 km. (Assume radius of earth is 6378km ) A 14/11 GHz satellite link has a transponder with an output power level of 20W. The satellite transmit antenna gain at 11 GHz is 30 dB. Path loss to this station is 20 dB, including clear air atmospheric loss.

Q6 The eastern belt of Odisha can be represented approximately on a map as an area bounded by 19.31° Nlatitude, 21.34° Nlatitude, 84.79° Elongitude, and 86.66° E longitude. A geostationary satellite located at 85.48° E longitude has an antenna with a spot beam that covers all of the area at a downlink center frequency of 12.54MHz. So estimate the antenna dimensions’ subject to two different assumptions. In both cases use an aperture efficiency of 65 percent. The antenna is a circular parabolic reflector generating a circular beam with a 3 dB beam width equal to the diagonal of the area bounding the eastern belt of Odisha. a) Calculate the beam width of the antenna from simple geometry. Hence determine the diameter of the antenna on the satellite in meters and its approximate gain in decibels. b) The antenna is an elliptical parabolic reflector with 3 dB beam widths in the NS and E-W directions are equal to the height and the width of the area bounding eastern belt of Odisha. Calculate the required 3 dB beam widths of the satellite antenna. Calculate the approximate gain of the antenna. (16)
