Antenna beamwidth Beamwidth is a measure of the directivity of the antenna Smaller beamwidth concentrated power along a smaller area Free space loss assumes that power is radiated in all directions An antenna with a smaller beamwidth concentrates the power hence yields a gain For parabolic antenna, 0: -70ND Gain(G)s proportional to(e8)-2 Hence a doubling of the diameter D increases gain by a factor of 4
θ λ θ Antenna Beamwidth θB • Beamwidth is a measure of the directivity of the antenna – Smaller beamwidth concentrated power along a smaller area • Free space loss assumes that power is radiated in all directions • An antenna with a smaller beamwidth concentrates the power hence yields a gain – For parabolic antenna, θB ~ 70λ/D – Gain (GT) s proportional to (θB )-2 – Hence a doubling of the diameter D increases gain by a factor of 4 Eytan Modiano Slide 4

PN + PN + Rx Tx PT Rx Tx PT • A regenerator demodulates, detects and retransmits the signal – Each segment has the same PR/PN and the same received Eb/N0 – Pb = probability of error on a segment (independent between segments) – Pb (overall) = 1 - P(no error) = 1 - (1-Pb)K ~ KPb • Now compare repeater to regenerator (e.g. PAM) Pb = Q( 2Eb N0 / ) For repeater : Pb (overall) = Q( 2Eb / KN0 ) For regenerator : Pb (overall) = KQ( 2Eb / N0 ) Eytan Modiano KQ( 2Eb N0 / ) < Q( 2Eb / KN0 ) Slide 7
Satellite example Uplink received (Eb/no)u= downlink received (Eb/no)d=10dB PAM modulation P=O(2EB/NO) Repeater: Received(E No)uld=1/2(Eb/No)u= 10 dB -3dB= 7dB => Pb= 5x10-4 from table 7, 55 or 7, 58 Regenerator: Pb(up)=Pb(down)=3X10 (from table with(Eb/No )d=10dB) Hence Pb(up/down)-2 Pb(up)-6X3x10-5 Two orders of magnitude difference between repeaters and regeneration Greater difference with more segments
Satellite example • Uplink received (Eb/N0 )u = downlink received (Eb/N0 )d = 10dB • PAM modulation Pb = Q( 2Eb N0 / ) • Repeater: Received (Eb/N0)u/d = 1/2 (Eb/N0)u = 10 dB - 3dB = 7dB – => Pb = 5x10-4 from table 7.55 or 7.58 • Regenerator: Pb(up) = Pb(down) = 3x10-6 – (from table with (Eb/N0 )d = 10dB) – Hence Pb (up/down) ~ 2 Pb(up) ~ 6x3x10-6 • Two orders of magnitude difference between repeaters and regeneration – Greater difference with more segments Eytan Modiano Slide 8
