Signal-to-noise distance
The following values must be known in order to calculate the carrier-to-
noise distance (C/N) for analogue transponders.
•
background noise level (set parabola antenna so that no satellite
signal is received)
•
max. receiving level
•
bandwidth correction.
This gives the following formula:
C/N = receiving signal level - background noise level - bandwidth correction
Measured bandwidth of MSK 24 6 MHz
Bandwidth correction value = 10 log ——————————————–--------
RF bandwidth of receiving signal
Bandwidth correction value = 6.37 dB at 26 MHz bandwidth (Astra)
Bandwidth correction value = 7.78 dB at 36 MHz (Eutelsat, Intelsat, Kopernikus)
Example
Receiving signal level
+75.5 dB
with satellite signal
Background noise level
-55.0 dB
without satellite signal
Carrier-to-noise distance C/N
+20.5 dB
Bandwidth correction
- 6.4 dB
for 26 MHz bandwidth
C/N of the receiving system
+14.1 dB
Note
To calculate C/N exactly, it is essential that you take the RF bandwidth of
the receiving signal into account.
