  • Abstract
    This correspondence derives expressions for the total satellite transponder power, transponder gain, and all the terminals´ transmit links power taking into account all of the system parameters such as uplink and downlink satellite antenna gains, the ground terminals´ receive gain and noise temperature, path losses and fades, data rates, required Eb over No, etc. Both orthogonal waveforms as well as self-interfering waveforms such as pseudonoise spread spectrum in presence of jamming are included.
