A small satellite with the following characteristics is directly above the ground station. Assume the following:

      Transmitter output power = 1 Watt

      Altitude = 10,000 km.

      Carrier frequency = 0.5 GHz

      Bandwidth = 20 kHz

      Antenna gain = 1 dB

      Data rate = 10 kbps

The ground station has an antenna with a gain of 20 dB and a system noise temperature of 1000 K.

      a) What is the resultant E_b/N_o?

b) What is the carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N) ? (Also known as signal-to-noise ratio)

round station has an antenna with a gain of 20 dB and a system noise temperature of 1000 K. a) What is the resultant Eb/No? b) What is the carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N) ? (Also known as signal-to-noise ratio)
