    You're right. If the transmit power is constant rather than EIRP, then the received power will increase with increasing frequency for given antenna sizes. This is because even though the free space path loss also increases with frequency, the gains of the parabolic antennas increase faster with frequency (due to the relationship between gain and frequency/dish size). So with constant transmit power but increasing frequency, the higher antenna gains at both the transmitter and receiver will more than compensate for the higher path loss, resulting in higher received power. The key point is that with constant transmit power, the effects of changing frequency on antenna gains and path loss need to be considered together.

    Link budget Analysis

    A link budget is an accounting of all the power gains and losses that a communication signal
    experiences in a telecommunication system; from a transmitter, through a medium (free space,
    cable, waveguide, fiber, etc.) to the receiver.
    A link budget is a relatively simple addition and subtraction of gains and losses within an RF
    link.
    When these gains and losses of various components are determined and summed, the result is
    an estimation of end-to-end system performance in the real world
    Why is a Link Budget Important

    A link budget is used to predict performance before the link is


    established.
    – Show in advance if it will be acceptable
    – Show if one option is better than another
    – Provide a criterion to evaluate actual performance
    The Link-Power Budget Equation
    The decibel equation for the received power

    The losses for clear sky conditions are


    Parabolic antenna
    A parabolic antenna is an antenna that uses a parabolic reflector, a
    curved surface with the cross-sectional shape of a parabola, to direct
    the radio waves. The most common form is shaped like dish and is
    popularly called a dish antenna or parabolic dish. The main
    advantage of a parabolic antenna is that it has high directivity.

    Directivity : The degree to which the radiation emitted is


    concentrated in a single direction
    Antenna Gain
    The gain of an antenna is the ratio of the power radiated (or received) per unit solid angle by the
    antenna in a given direction to the power radiated (or received) per unit solid angle by an
    isotropic antenna fed with the same power.
    Gain of parabolic antenna
    For Parabolic Antennas the gain can be approximated by

    Where ,
    η is efficiency (Typically 0.55 for parabolic antenna) (Power Radiated/Power Supplied)
    f is the carrier frequency in GHz,
    D is the reflector diameter in m,
    Effective Isotropic Radiated Power
    (EIRP)
    A key parameter in link budget is the equivalent/Effective isotropic radiated power:

    [Ps]- the power at the antenna input (dBW)


    [G] – Antenna Gain (dB)

     The [EIRP] may be thought of as the power input to one end of the transmission link, and the
    problem is to find the power received at the other end
    Example EIRP
    Example EIRP
    Losses
    Free Space Path Loss (LFS)
    LFS is the loss incurred by an electromagnetic wave as it propagates in a straight line through
    vacuum with no absorption or reflection of energy from nearby objects
    LFS is frequency dependent (wavelength λ) and increases with distance r

    LFS

    Free Space Path Loss (LFS)

    [LFS] =

    [LFS] =

    With c = 3x10^8 m/s, f in GHz and r in Km, LFS in dB:

    [LFS]

    With frequency in megahertz and distance in kilometers,

    [LFS]
    Example

    b
    Free Space Path Loss (LFS)

    Received power directly proportional to


    Gain of receiver antenna

    Gain of receiver antenna directly proportional


    to frequency

    FSL also directly proportional to


    frequency

    For a constant EIRP, the received power is independent of frequency of operation.


    Assignment 1
    If the transmit power is a specified constant, rather than the EIRP,
    then the received power will increase with increasing frequency for
    given antenna dish sizes at the transmitter and receiver . Explain
