Aim-Study of Satellite Downlink Design

Software-Octave
Theory-

In this process, satellite sends the signal and the earth station receives
it. The equation is same as the satellite uplink with a difference that we
use the abbreviation “D” everywhere instead of “U” to denote the
downlink phenomena.

Its mathematical equation can be written as;

[C/N0]D=[EIRP]D+[G/T]D−[LOSSES]D−K

Where,

 [CN0] is the carrier to noise density ratio

 [GT] is the earth station receiver G/T ratio and units are dB/K
Here, all the losses that are present around earth stations.

In the above equation we have not included the signal bandwidth B.

However, if we include that the equation will be modified as follows.
[C/N0]D=[EIRP]D+[G/T]D−[LOSSES]D−K−B
