    b) In a communication Satellite, power supply system is an important subsystem.Explain about it, in detail. [10+6]

    4.a) A Satellite at a distance of 36,000 km, from a point on the surface of earth, radiates a power of 2 Watts from an antenna with a gain of 17 dB in the direction of anobserver. Find the flux density at the receiving point and the power received by anantenna with an effective area of 10 m 2.

    b) The earth subtends an angle of 17 0 when viewed from geostationary orbit. What arethe dimensions and gain of a horn antenna that will provide global coverage at 4GHz? [9+7]

    7.a) A 3-meter diameter earth station antenna of circular aperture is used to receiveSatellite signals in the 4 GHz band. The system noise figure is 1 dB. Calculate theG/T ratio of the earth station. Express the answer in dBK -1.

    b) A low noise amplifier (LNA) is connected to a receiver which has a noise figure of12 dB. The gain of the LNA is 40 dB, and its noise temperature is 120 K. Calculatethe overall noise temperature referred to the LNA input. [8+8]

    8.a) With the aid of a block schematic, describe the functioning of transmit-receiveearth station.

    b) An earth station radiates an equivalent isotropic radiated power of 54 dBW at 14 GHzfrom a 10-m parabolic antenna. The transmit feeder losses between the high-poweramplifier (HPA) and the antenna are 2.5 dB. Calculate the output of the HPA.[10+6]
