Problem # 2<br />
Path Loss<br />
Calculate the path loss for the radio link to<br />
the satellite at horizon using the following<br />
frequencies:<br />
f 1 = 145.8 MHz (typical amateur sat. uplink)<br />
f 2 = 2215 MHz (Ørsted downlink)<br />
Path loss formula:<br />
d<br />
Lp = 32.45 + 20 ⋅log⎜<br />
⎟ + 20 ⋅log<br />
1km ⋅<br />
Solution<br />
L p1 = 144.76 dB<br />
L p1 = 168.40 dB<br />
