1- Impedance of rhombus antenna is 600----800Ω

2- There are three types of element within a Yagi antenna:

Driven element:   The driven element is the Yagi antenna element to which power
is applied. It is normally a half wave dipole or often a folded dipole.

Reflector:   The reflector element is made to be about 5% longer than the driven
element. The Yagi antenna will generally only have one reflector. This is behind the
main driven element, i.e. the side away from the direction of maximum sensitivity.

Director:   The director or directors are made to be shorter than the driven
element. There may be none, one of more reflectors in the Yagi antenna. The
director or directors are placed in front of the driven element, i.e. in the direction
of maximum sensitivity. Typically each director will add around 1 dB of gain in the
forward direction, although this level reduces as the number of directors
increases.

3- Band of frequency of parabolic antenna is 2GHz-----30GHz

4- Vertical or horizontal.

5- Antenna Positioning Mechanisms (APMs) have long been used to perform the
vital function of pointing the antenna bore sight to its target, and tracking to
maintain the RF link to the spacecraft

6- Distance from earth center to orbit = 6370+35800= 42170Km

Distance from earth center to the satellite N = 42170 /0.6=70283Km
Distance from earth to satellite N = 70283 – 6730=63553Km

1- Modulator:
Modulate the data signal by using different methods of modulation, like PSK, QAM,
QPSK,…
2- Up converter:
transform the IF frequency to Qu-band or c-band.
3- Power amplifier:
amplify the signal to the necessary power to rich the satellite.
4- Power amplifier:
amplifying the signal delivered from the satellite trough the dish

5- down convertor: convert from Rf to IF

6- demodulator: demodulate the IF signal to message signal ( data – video – audio)

Vertical horizotal

- horn antenna is very directive while folded antenna is not
