5. A communication satellite is in stationary (synchronous) orbit about the earth (assume an altitude of 22,300 statute miles). Its signal is received by the 210-ft diameter tracking paraboloidal antenna on the earth at the NASA tracking station at Goldstone, California. At a frequency of 2 GHz, determine the transmitter power-8 watts a) Power density incident on the receiving antenna b) Power received by the ground based antenna whose gain is 60 dB.
