A T1 data transmission system transmits data at 1.544 Mbps over a GEO satellite link. At the receiving terminal the clear air value of overall (CNR)o is 19.0 dB. The modulation used on the link is QPSK and the implementation margin of the QPSK demodulator is 0.5 dB.

a. Find the BER at the receiver output and the average time between errors.
b. Rain affects the downlink from the satellite and the overall CNR ratio in the receiver falls by 6.0 dB to 13.0 dB. What is the bit error rate and the time between errors now?
c.If the modulation were changed to BPSK and the bit rate reduced by a factor of two when CNR overall is 13.0 dB, what BER would you expect from the link?

  • Analysis of link budget DTH QPSK Satellite link

    Some typical link parameters are determined including path loss over the link to Earth, the power received at the edge of the transmit beam, the noise power in the ground receiver, the CNR in clear sky conditions and the BER in rain conditions A direct-to-home

  • Analysis of QPSK Satellite link and BER

    Rain in the satellite to earth path causes the overall CNR in the earth station receiver to fall to 15.5 dB. The link has an implementation margin of 0.5 dB. What is the BER at the output of the receiver, and the average time between errors?

  • Analysing CNR, BER over satellite link with FEC

    429517 Error correcting codes are widely used on satellite links that have a low overall CNR in the receiver. A particular link has a clear air overall CNR of 11.0 dB and overall CNR of 6.0 dB when rain is in the downlink path.

  • Examination of a satellite QPSK link

    356944 Examination of a satellite QPSK link A satellite communication link transmits a QPSK signal at a rate of 64 ksps. The transmitter and receiver have ideal RRC filters with alpha = 0.2.

  • Examination of a digital radio link

    First we note that the actual CNR hitting the demodulation stage is CNR - Implementation margin or CNR = 15.5 - 0.5 = 15 dB Also note that the Carrier Power (C) is given as the product of the Energy per Bit (Eb) and the Bit Rate (R

  • Ananalysis of a LOS Microwave link & link budget parameters

    We can say that the carrier power received is given as the product of the energy per bit of information (Eb) and the bit rate (R) as in (9).

  • Examination of a terrestrial communications link

    What is the bit error rate of the received signal and the time between errors? d. Rain occasionally affects the link and the received carrier falls to -132.0 dBW. The noise power in the receiver remains unchanged.

  • Analysis of BPSK signals, BER with AWGN

    CNR = (V/SIGMA)^2 (4) CNR = (3/1)^2 = 9 Now Carrier Level Power (C) is given in terms of the product of the Energy per Bit (Eb) and the Bit Rate (Rb) over the link as in (5).

  • Analysis of 16QAM miceowave link

    The link must maintain a BER no higher than 10^-6. What is the minimum CNR in the receiver to meet this requirement? c. When rain causes attenuation on the link the BER will eventually increase to 10^-6.
