Satellite Received Signal Poweis used to calculate the received signal power.
- : Received signal power at the satellite receiver (Watts)
- : Transmitted signal power from the ground station (Watts)
- : Gain of the transmitting antenna (dimensionless, since it’s a ratio)
- : Free space path loss (dB)
- : Gain of the receiving antenna (dimensionless)
- : Rain loss (dB)
- : Cloud attenuation (dB)
- : Atmospheric loss (dB)
- : Polarization loss (dB)
- : Ionospheric loss (dB)
- : Miscellaneous losses (dB)
