Preparation
My student ID: 11275955
The month I was born: March
So phi=mod (11275955+3, 360), phi=38°
TASK 1
From the wiki, I find the satellite which is the closest to the phi is called Paksat-1E. It is geosynchronous and communications satellite built and owned by the Boeing Company, leased to the SUPARCO as PakSat. ( longitude ØSS= 38.8° )
Then the cities I choose is England (359.5°E, 53.5°N), the second is, Australia (15°E, 47.5°N)
TASK 2
ØE1= 359.5°， ØSS= 38°， λE1= 53.5°，ØE2=15°，λE2=47.5°
Assume the ELmin = 5°
Ϭmin = π/2 + ELmin = 95° b = π - Ϭmin - sin−1{ R sin(Ϭmin)/ aGso }= 180°- 95° - sin−1{6371 x sin(95°)/ 42164} = 76.34°
England
B1 = cos−1[cos(b) cos(λE1)] = cos−1[cos(76.34°)cos(53.5°) ]= 81.92°
So the look angle for England is [ØE1- B1, ØE1+B1] = [ 277.58° E, 81.92° E ]
Australia
B2= cos−1[cos(b) cos(λE2)] = cos−1[cos(76.34°)cos(47.5°) ] = 80.82°
So the look angle for Australia is [ØE2- B2, ØE2+B2] = [-65.82E, 95.82E ] = [294.18E, 95.82E ] = [65.82W, 81.92° E ]
TASK 2
For the England:
Ls= (hR-h0)/ sin (EL1) =( 4- 0 )/ sin(35.48°)= 6.892 km
The horizontal projection of this slant path length is
LG= Ls cos(EL2) = 6.892 x cos (35.48°) = 5.612 km
For ran 0.1% of the time, the reduction factor is
Rp = R0.01 = 180/(180+LG)= 0.96976
So the effective path length may be determined:
L= LsRp = 6.892 x 0.96976 = 6.684
The attenuation A can now be calculated:
A = á L dB
From the Optus C1 satellite, it is at 14GHz
So I define the function for linear table:
Y = a X + b
From the table, to calculate the ah, use the 12GHz and 15GHz values to calculate
12 = a * 0.0188 + b
15 = a * 0.0367 + b a = 167.6 b = 8.85
So at the 14GHz, 14 = 167.6 * ah + 8.85 ah = 0.0307
Use the same function, to calculate av,
12 = a * 0.0168 + b
15 = a * 0.0335 + b a= 179.64 b = 8.98
At 14 GHz, 14 = 179.64 * av + 8.98 av = 0.0279
Follow above, to calculate bh
12 = a * 1.217 + b
15 = a * 1.154 + b a= -47.62 b= 69.65
At 14 GHz, 14 = -47.62 * bh + 69.65 bh= 1.169
To calculate bv :
12 = a * 1.2 + b
15 = a * 1.128 + b a= -41.67 b=62
At 14 GHz, 14 = -41.67* bv + 62 bv= 1.152
For horizontal polarization: á = ah * db/km 0.20148 db/km
So A =á L = 0.20148 * 6.684 = 1.3467 dB
For vertical polarization: á = av * db/km = 0.17816 db/km
So A =á L = 0.17816 * 6.684 = 1.1908 dB
For the Australia:
Ls= (hR-h0)/ sin (EL2) =( 4- 0 )/ sin(35.39°)= 6.907 km
The horizontal projection of this slant path length is LG= Ls cos(EL2) = 6.907 x cos (35.39°) = 5.631 km
For ran 0.1% of the time, the reduction factor is Rp = R0.01 = 180/ (180+LG) = 0.96967
So the effective path length may be determined:
L= LsRp = 6.907 x 0.96967 = 6.697
Use the same ah, bh, av, bv values as above
For horizontal polarization: á = ah * db/km = 0.20148 db/km
So A =á L = 0.20148 * 6.697 = 1.3493 dB
Similarly, for vertical polarization: á = av * db/km = 0.17816 db/km
So A =á L = 0.17816 * 6.697 = 1.1931 dB
