This document summarizes the key link budget parameters for a satellite communication system providing service from Jakarta, Indonesia to Tanahmerah, Indonesia via the Asiasat 9 satellite. It details the uplink and downlink earth station parameters, satellite parameters, and calculations for carrier power, signal-to-noise ratio, attenuation and margin. The analysis is presented for clear sky conditions and evaluates the link at saturation for both the uplink and downlink.
