    Introduction
    The satellite link is primarily composed of three
    segments:
    I. The transmitting earth station and the uplink
    media.
    II. The satellite.
    III. The downlink media and the receiving earth
    station.

    Satellite link design
    The satellite link is probably the most basic in
    microwave communications since a line-of-sight
    path typically exists between the Earth and
    space.
    An imaginary line extending between the
    transmitting or receiving Earth station and the
    satellite antenna passes only through the
    atmosphere and not ground obstacles.
    Such a link is governed by free-space
    propagation with only limited variation with
    respect to time due to various constituents of the
    atmosphere.

    Satellite link design cont
    The design of satellite communication system is a
    complex process.
    Factors dominating the design are
    1. The weight of the satellite.
    2. The DC power that can be generated on board.
    3. The frequency bands allocated for satellite
    communication.
    4. The maximum band dimensions of satellite and
    ground station antennas.
    5. The multiple access technique used to share
    communications capacity between many earth
    station.
    Design of the Satellite Link
    The RF carrier in any microwave communications link
    begins at the transmitting electronics and propagates
    from the transmitting antenna through the medium of free
    space and absorptive atmosphere to the receiving
    antenna, where it is recovered by the receiving
    electronics.
    The carrier is modulated by a baseband signal that
    transfers information for the particular application.
    The first step in designing the microwave link is to identify
    the overall requirements and the critical components that
    determine performance.
    For this purpose, we use the basic arrangement of the
    link shown in Figure.

    For a transmitter with output PtW driving a lossless antenna with gain Gt, the flux density in
    the direction of antenna bore sight at distance R m is
    The product PtGt is called as effective isotropically radiated power
    It describes the combination of transmitter and antenna in terms of an equivalent isotropic
    source.
