Question 1: In a satellite communication system, the height of the satellite antenna from the earth-satellite station antenna is 88000 km. Its operating frequency is 90 GHz. The directivity of the transmitting antenna is 22 dB, and the maximum power gain of the receiving antenna is 400. The efficiency of the transmitting antenna is 0.7 and the efficiency of the receiving antenna is 0.6. If the transmitting antenna power is 3.5 kWatt, what is the power of the receiving antenna in Watts and dB? What is the FSPL (free space path loss) in dB? Note: Use the dB formula.

 

Question 2: How many kilometers of line-of-sight transmission can be made between the antenna at the top of the Istanbul TV tower, which is 587 meters above sea level, and the highest structure in Istanbul and even in Europe, and Bayraktar TB2, which is flying 1 km above sea level and standing still?
