Block diagram of the earth station
Designing of an Earth station depends not only on the location of earth
station but also on some other factors. The location of earth stations could
be on land, on ships in sea and on aircraft. The depending factors are type
of service providing, frequency bands utilization, transmitter, receiver and
antenna characteristics.
The reason for this is that the designing must be done in a focussed way
so that the station must be able to receive even very weak signals as well
as process them to get the actual information. So, designing the earth
station is an important considerable factor. The Figure 2.14 below
represents the block diagram representation of the transmit-receive type
earth station.
