ACADEMIC YEAR 2021 – 2022 (EVEN SEMESTER)
MODEL EXAMINATION
SUBJECT CODE &NAME: EC8094 & SC DATE:

YEAR/SEM: IV/VIII MAX MARKS: 100 MARKS DURATION:1.20 MINUTES

Part A (10 X 2=20 MARKS)


1. Define orbital parameters
In order to mention the position of the earth orbiting satellites some parameters are used
and these are termed as orbital parameters.
2. What is low earth orbiting satellites?
Weather satellites have to use of relatively low orbits ranging in altitude between 800
and 900 km.
3. Write a short note on spin stabilized satellites?
In a spin stabilized satellites the body of the satellite of about 30 to 100rpm about the
axis perpendicular to the orbital plane.
4. Define station keeping.
It is the process of maintenance of satellite attitude against different factors that can
cause drift with time.
5. What is mean by polarization interleaving?
In downlink some overlap occurs between channels but these are alternatively polarized
left hand circular and right hand circular or vertical horizontal to reduce interference to
acceptable levels.
6. Write the link power budget equation?
[LOSSES]=[FSL]+[RFL]+[AML]+[AA]+[PL]
7. Define TDMA and its advantages?
Time Division Multiple Access technique only one carrier uses the transponder at any
one time and therefore inter modulation produces which results from the non-linear
amplification of multiple carriers are absent.
8. Write the need for modulation and multiplexing.
Modulation and multiplexing describe the signal processing techniques for encoding,
modulating, combining and formatting for transmission in satellite communications.
9. Mention the different types of satellite mobile services.
DBS-Direct broadcast satellite
GPS-Global positioning system
MSAT- Mobile satellite service
10. Define GSM.
GSM originally from groups special mobile is the most popular standard for mobile
phones in the world.

present.
INTELSAT stands for International telecommunication satellite. The organization
