An earth station transmits at 5.62 GHz from an antenna of 6 m. The transmitter generates an output of 8 kW. The satellite is 39920 km from the earth station. The efficiency of the transmitting antenna being 0.7. Calculate a. Path loss ; b. Transmitting antenna gain;. c. EIRP;. d. Received power at satellite;. e. Improvement in a received power if the satellite uses parabolic dish of 2.5 m. (3 Mark) f. Considering your calculated results in other parts of this question, suggest, as a designer, how you could reduce the transmitter power while maintaining the same level of received power.
