8.7 A communications satellite link has the following data: operating frequency 6 GHz, gain of satellite aerial 6 dBi, gain of earth station aerial 50 dBi, noise temperature of earth station aerial 290 K, noise factor of receiver 3 dB, bandwidth of receiver 20 MHz, and link length 36 000 km. The carrier-to-noise ratio at the earth station is to be 30 dB. Calculate (a) the minimum signal power density at the earth station receive aerial, (b) the minimum field strength at the receive aerial, and (c) the minimum power that must be transmitted by the satellite.
