Design a transmitting earth station to provide a clear air C/N of 26 dB in a C- band transponder at a frequency of 6.285 GHz. Given an FM band of 27MHz. Use an uplink antenna with a diameter of 9 m and an aperture efficiency of 68%, and find the uplink transmitter power required to achieve the required C/N. The uplink station is located on the 2 dB contour of the satellite footprint. Allow 0.5 dB for clear air atmospheric attenuation and other losses.
