burst structure?
3. Draw and explain the block diagram of optical satellite receiver. Derive an expression for
its SNR.
4. What do you understand by path loss during satellite communication? Also explain its
causes and remedies.
5. Write a note on CSSB systems and list its limitations if any.
6. A satellite at a distance of 39,000 km from the EIE departmental building radiates a
power of 20 W from an antenna with a gain of 22 dB in the direction of a VSAT at the
EIE building with an effective aperture area of 10 m
2
. Find:
a) The flux density at the departmental building
b) The power received by the VSAT antenna
c) If the satellite operates at a frequency of 11 GHz and the Earth Station (ES) antenna
has a gain of 52.3 dB. Determine the received power.

SECTION-C
