Calculated and tabulated gain is always maximum gain, that is gain along the boresight. the attitude control system has the task of pointing spacecraft antennas, and there is error in the process. therefore this loss accounts for the off boresight angle resulting from the error in antenna pointing.

What is pointing loss?

It is the amount of signal loss due to inaccurate pointing of the antennas. To determine the expected amount of pointing loss, the design engineer will consider such things as antenna position encoder accuracy, resolution of position commands, and autotrack accuracy. The pointing accuracy of both the spacecraft antenna and the ground station antenna must be considered, although they may both be combined into one entry in the link budget. Pointing loss will usually be small, on the order of a few tenths of a dB. This is small enough for the maintenance engineer to ignore under normal circumstances. However, pointing loss is one of the most common causes of link failure. This is usually due to inaccurate commanded position of the antenna, but can also be caused by a faulty position encoder

Can a magellan gps antenna prevent loss of signal?

While all GPS systems come with an internal antenna with which it uses to contact the satellites in orbit, there are accessories available. If you buy a antenna attachment, it can improve your signal quality.


What is the insertion loss budget for 300 meter link intended to operate at 10GBase-SR using OM3 Fiber?

ILB = (2 x 0.75db) + (0.3km x 3.5dB/km) = 2.6dB


Is memory loss a sign of a stroke?

Memory loss is not correlated with signs or pointing to a stroke. Memory loss is highly correlated with Alheizmer's disease. Signs of a stroke are loss of muscles, usually half the body.


What is th best scanner antenna?

Any omnidirectional antenna is a good choice. Many people swear by the Diamond brand discone antennas, but many manufacturers make similar, equally good antennas. If you have a little time, you can even make your own omnidirectional antenna out of an SO-239 connector and some wire and solder. Omnidirectional antennas generally have a vertical section and at least four sections pointing down at 45 degrees. Discone antennas are similar, but have a horizontal disc (or array) in addition to or instead of the vertical element. Any antenna will have better reception with more height and a good low-loss coaxial cable.


Design a single wave length point to point optical fiber communication link?

You need to know the data for the single mode fiber transmistter and receiver losses. This is prinicpally based on the type of laser transmitter or receiver you are using. Then you perform the optical loss link budget calculation. You don't care about noise in the equation. You just know your power output in db, calculate all your db losses in the link to include receiver losses and determine if you have the necessary loss budget maintained-which is 3db.


What is the use of ground plane in helical antenna?

A ground plane in a helical antenna acts as a reflector, enhancing the radiation pattern and efficiency of the antenna. It helps to direct the radiated signal in a desired direction and minimizes signal loss due to ground reflections. The ground plane also provides a stable reference point for the antenna structure.


What is the difference between profit and loss account and budget?

Budget is pre-facto and P&L is post-facto. Budget can be defined as projected Income/P&L statement.


What is the ice budget?

The ice budget refers to the balance between ice accumulation and ice loss within a glacier or ice sheet over a specific period. It encompasses factors such as snowfall, ice melt, sublimation, and calving events. A positive ice budget indicates more accumulation than loss, leading to glacier growth, while a negative budget suggests more loss than accumulation, resulting in retreat. Monitoring the ice budget is crucial for understanding climate change impacts and sea level rise.
