ECE4010 – Satellite Communication

Digital Assignment -1

Instruction: Kindly upload handwritten assignment material with name and


registration number. Please do not upload typed assignment.
10 Marks

1) Design the transponders to be used for 6/4 GHz and 14/11 GHz, Justify the design.

2) Derive to prove that the equation of the orbit is an ellipse is Kepler’s first law of
planetary motion.

3) A satellite is currently in its elliptical transfer orbit with apogee and perigee being at
distances of 35786 km and 296o km respectively above the surface of Earth. If the
inclination of the transfer orbit to the equatorial plane is 28.5 degrees, calculate the
incremental velocity to be given to the satellite at the apogee point by the apogee kick
motor to circularize the orbit (Assume Earth's radius = 6378 km and Kepler’s constant
=3.986 x105 km3/s2)

4) An interactive experiment is being set up between the two cities (approximately 310oE,
50.5oN) and City II (approximately 32oE, 47.5oN) that will make use of a geostationary
satellite. The earth stations at both the cities are constrained to work only above
elevation angles of 16o. It is required to find a geostationary satellite that will be visible
to both the cities simultaneously, with both earth stations operating at, or above, an
elevation angle of 16o. What is the range of sub satellite points between
which the selected geostationary satellite must lie?

5) A ground station lies at latitude=39 degrees N and longitude=283 degrees E. A Geo


stationary satellite at radius r =42164 km has a longitude of 325.50 degrees E. Calculate
the range and look angles (azimuth and elevation angles) to the satellite.

6) A low earth orbit satellite is in a circular polar orbit with an altitude of 800 km. A
transmitter on the satellite has a frequency of 13 GHZ. Find,
i) The velocity of the satellite in orbit.
ii) The component of velocity towards an observer at an earth station as the satellite
appears over the horizon, for an observer who is in the plane of the satellite orbit.
iii) Find the Doppler shift of the received signal at the earth station use a mean earth
radius value of 6378km.

7) A satellite link operating at 14 GHz has receiver feeder losses of 1.5dB and a free
space loss of 207dB .The atmospheric absorption loss is 0.5dB, and the antenna
pointing loss is 0.5 dB .Depolarization losses may be neglected. Calculate the total link
loss for clear sky conditions

8) At 12.45 GHz, estimate the effect of Sun intereference on a microwave receiver with a
2.0-dB noise figure and a 90cm antenna typical of broadcast satellite reception. Take
the clear-sky temperature to be 30 K and the Suns temperature to be 12000 K. What
happens if 6.0dB of rain attenuation together with the Sun interference.
