This page refers to a Ku band satellite new gathering vehicle (DSNG) uplink sending back video to the hub studio site.
The satellite receive uplink G/T is +5 dB/K
Uplink SFD = -90 dBW/m^2 single carrier. Note 4 dB input back off
Uplink PFD = - 90 - 4 multi carrier
Uplink PFD = -90 - 4 - 10log(1.5/36) for your uplink carrier
Uplink PFD = -107.8 dBW/m^2 for your uplink carrier
Occupied bandwidth is 1.4 MHz. Noise bandwidth ofcarrier assumed to be 1/1.2 of this.
So vabdwidth for C/N calvulation = 1.4 MHz /1.2 = 1166666 Hz.
Assuming transponders are 36 MHz wide, with EIRP=51.5 dBW saturated single carrier.
Assuming multicarrier output back off = -2 dB.
EIRP per 1.5 MHz (multicarrier operation) = 51.5 - 2 - 10log(1.5/36) = 35.7 dBW
The transponder 'gain' factor of 143.5 has been adjusted to give +35.7 dBW downlink EIRP for input PFD=-107.8 dBW.
The input figures are adjustable. You need to overwrite the figures with your own more accurate information and assumptions.
