A free-space system with a 6 GHz carrier frequency requires a bandwidth of 24 MHz. The transmitter power level is 10 W and the link distance is 40 km. The antennas used at transmitter and receiver each have 40 dB gain and filter, isolator and feeder losses are 4 dB in total. The receiver has a noise figure of 10 dB in the specified frequency band. Calculate the carrier-to-thermal-noise-power ratio at the receiver output.
