Carrier Transmission Budget-Antenna Gain- The antenna gain is defined as the ratio of the power per unit solid angle received/radiated by the antenna in a given direction to the power per unit solid angle received/radiated by an isotropic antenna supplied with the same power.

Propagation-Effects to be considered- • Radio noise • Ionospheric effects • Absorption • Total electron content effects (group delay, refraction, polarisation rotation) • Scintillation • Tropospheric effects • Attenuation by rain • Depolarisation • Refraction effects • Shadowing and multipath effects SatComms A - part 3 - B G Evans
Clear Sky Noise Temperature • Any ATTENUATION process which involves energy absorption is associated with THERMAL NOISE GENERATION from the medium • Absorption by atmospheric gases is frequency dependent, hence clear sky noise temperature exhibits similar variations with frequency SatComms A - part 3 - B G Evans
Attenuation by atmospheric gases • See CCIR Rep.719 for a detailed description of practical techniques of calculation for LAG. The following curve displays AAG(E) versus frequency; E is the elevation angle. SatComms A - part 3 - B G Evans

Typical values of rain attenuation Comments: 30/20 GHz systems face a problem, especially in tropical regions where rainfall rate is very high during small percentage of time. Performance objective must be achieved when rain occurs. The link will probably be over dimensioned during most of the time (margin). SatComms A - part 3 - B G Evans
DEPOLARISATION • Rain and ice cause this due to shape of particles • Need to know shape and orientation of particles • Linear and circular POLN different • Circular POLN is worst case • Can form a model linking depolarisation (XPD) and attenuation SatComms A - part 3 - B G Evans
