The Impact of Satellite Rain Fade

Rain rate is the most common factor used to determine rain fade. Rain fade seems to correlate very closely with the volume of raindrops (expressed in cubic wavelengths) along the path of propagation. This is opposed to the common misconception that the degree of attenuation is proportional to the quantity or individual size of the raindrops falling near the receive site.

Pinpointing the specific factor that lead to attenuation is essential to accurately predicting the problem. Models can be developed from this data to chart the effects of rain fade on a regional or individual site basis. From this information, you can determine the correct antenna size you'll need to counteract the effects of satellite rain fade.

This doesn't mean, however, that buying the largest antenna possible will solve all rain-related problems. There is a point (usually under extremely heavy rain conditions and only for very brief periods) where virtually 100% of the satellite signal is absorbed by rain and no increase in antenna size will raise availability. However, the best way to reduce the effects of rain fade is to

What is the working principles of dth?

Direct to home (DTH) television is a wireless system for delivering television programs directly to the viewer's house. In DTH television, the broadcast signals are transmitted from satellites orbiting the Earth to the viewer's house. Each satellite is located approximately 35,700 km above the Earth in geosynchronous orbit. These satellites receive the signals from thebroadcast stations located on Earth and rebroadcast them to the Earth The Overall System Early satellite TV viewers were explorers of sorts. They used their expensive dishes to discover unique programming that wasn't necessarily intended for mass audiences. The dish and receiving equipment gave viewers the tools to pick up foreign stations, live feeds between different broadcast stations, NASA activities and a lot of other stuff transmitted using satellites. Some satellite owners still seek out this sort of programming on their own, but today, most Direct to home TV customers get their programming through a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) provider, such as DirecTV or the Dish Network. The provider selects programs and broadcasts them to subscribers as a set package. Basically, the provider's goal is to bring dozens or even hundreds of channels to your television in a form that approximates the competition, cable TV. Unlike earlier programming, the provider's broadcast is completely digital, which means it has much better picture and sound quality. Early satellite television was broadcast in C-band radio -- radio in the 3.4-gigahertz (GHz) to 7-GHz frequency range. Digital broadcast satellite transmits programming in the Ku frequency range (12 GHz to 14 GHz ).
