Why is rain attenuation in satellite communication?
Any satellite communications system network operator using a Ku-Band system (12/14 GHz or higher frequencies) will face the effects of rain fade at some time. But to understand why this weakening occurs with Ku-Band transmissions, you must first understand the causes of satellite rain fade. Two of the most common causes are listed below.
- Absorption - Part or all of the energy generated when a radio wave strikes a rain droplet. The droplet is converted to heat energy and absorbed by the droplet.
- Scattering - A non-uniform transmission medium (the raindrops in the atmosphere) causes energy to be dispersed from its initial travel direction.
Scattering can be caused by either refraction or diffraction:
- Refraction - The refractive index of the water droplets encountered by the radio wave.
- Diffraction - the travel direction of the radio wave also changes as it propagates around the obstacle in its path (a water droplet).
It refers primarily to the absorption of a microwave Radio Frequency (RF) signal by atmospheric rain, snow or ice, and losses are especially prevalent at frequencies above 11 GHz. It also refers to the degradation of a signal caused by the electromagnetic interference of the leading edge of a storm front. Rain attenuation or fade can be caused by precipitation at the uplink or downlink location. However, it does not need to be raining at a location for it to be affected by rain fade, as the signal may pass through precipitation many miles away, especially if the satellite dish has a low look angle.
From 5 to 20 percent of rain fade or satellite signal attenuation may also be caused by rain, snow or ice on the uplink or downlink antenna reflector, radome or feed horn.
Is cable better than satellite?
cable is worth the money.
First of all, if picture quality is important to you, satellite transmission to your home will provide a much sharper picture than you can achieve from cable broadcasts due to the great deal of compression which cable must utilize in order to transmit so much broadcasting through miles and miles of cables. which in turn, results in a less than desirable picture quality in most cases.
Secondly, cable is pulling up the rear in terms of technology. Sat companies have currently launched a "sling" feature which allows subscribers to watch tv on their laptop or smartphone. not to mention "Google tv" which allows users to surf while they watch, as well as stream vids from popular tube sites like " Hulu or "youtube"

Satellite cons: big dish on your house or in your yard, loss of signal at times durng very windy or very rainy weather, not all programming available on sat, more possibility for errors.

Is 100hz better than 50hz for tv?
Televisions that are advertised as 100Hz, 120Hz, 200Hz or higher all use computer processing to add new images between the 50 or 60 images that are broadcast each second. They claim to deliver smoother movement and less flicker and in many cases they work very well. The quality varies between televisions so although a 600Hz television should theoretically be better than a 100Hz model, that is not always the case.
Before investing in a television, always take a good look at the image quality and compare different models. It's not always the most expensive television that looks the best.
How signal is transmitted to the satellite radio and receive back to earth?
A satellite is like a mirror in the sky. Only instead of reflecting light, it "reflects" radio and television signals. There are receivers and transmitters in the satellite, so what it receives on one frequency (or channel) can be then re-transmitted back to earth on another frequency. Its like sending out signals from a tower that is many miles high to reach out to a bigger area. Only without the tower!

How does a satellite dish connect to a computer?
A satellite dish is designed to connect to a satellite receiver unit. Generally they are dedicated devices. There are a few satellite receiver cards or devices that can be installed into a computer and will operate as a video input card for the computer. These are specialist devices and will not be found as a standard feature on any computer.
Normally, to capture a video feed, the output form a dedicated satellite receiver would be connected to a video input port on the computer. Again, the video input is a specialist device typically used in video editing and not usually found as part of a standard computer set up.
