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 />
