- Communication with satellites
Satellites may be used to transmit information over large distances.
Global wireless communication relies on satellites. Here,
ground stations transmit to orbiting satellites that amplify thesignal and retransmit it back to earth. Satellites will move
across the sky unless they are in
geosynchronous
orbits , where the time for one revolution about the
equator exactly matches the earth's rotation time of one day.TV satellites would require the homeowner to continually adjust
his or her antenna if the satellite weren't in geosynchronousorbit. Newton's equations applied to orbiting bodies predict
that the time
for one orbit is related to distance from the earth's center
as
where
is the
gravitational constant and
the earth's mass.
Calculations yield
, which corresponds to an altitude of
. This altitude greatly exceeds that of the
ionosphere, requiring satellite transmitters to use frequenciesthat pass through it. Of great importance in satellite
communications is the transmission delay. The time forelectromagnetic fields to propagate to a geosynchronous
satellite and return is 0.24s, a significant delay.
In addition to delay, the propagation attenuation
encountered in satellite communication far exceeds whatoccurs in ionospheric-mirror based communication. Calculate
the attenuation incurred by radiation going to the satellite(one-way loss) with that encountered by Marconi (total going
up and down). Note that the attenuation calculation in theionospheric case, assuming the ionosphere acts like a
perfect mirror, is not a straightforward application of the
propagation
loss formula .
Transmission to the satellite, known as the uplink,
encounters inverse-square law power losses. Reflecting offthe ionosphere not only encounters the same loss, but twice.
Reflection is the same as transmitting exactly what arrives,which means that the total loss is the
product of the uplink and downlink losses. The
geosynchronous orbit lies at an altitude of
. The ionosphere begins at an altitude of about
50km. The amplitude loss in the satellite case is
proportional to
;
for Marconi, it was proportional to
.
Marconi was
very lucky.

what is the function of lymphatic system
to drain extracellular fluid all over the body.
asegid
The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph

what's the difference between anatomy and physiology
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.

what is enzymes all about?
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

what is the normal body temperature
please why 37 degree selcius normal temperature
Mark
the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
