Example Satellite Jamming
Figure 12.25 illustrates a satellite jamming scenario. The airplane terminal is equipped with a frequency-hopping (FH) spread-spectrum system transmitting with an EIRP = 20 dBW. The data rate is R = 100 bits/s. The jammer is transmitting wideband Gaussian noise continually with an EIRP J = 60 dBW. Assume that (Eb/J0)reqd = 10 dB and that the path loss is identical for the airplane terminal and the jammer.
a. Should the communicators be concerned more with the jamming of the uplink or with that of the downlink?
b. If it is desired to have an AJ margin of 20 dB, what should be the value of the hopping bandwidth W?
