V-to-W band Satcom - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi Gents,
I've been told that mm frequency 50-110 Ghz is enormously inefficient. Understand that if I'm in the atmosphere I'd agree. -- But what about ExoAtomospehreic - satcom? My basic goal is to provide a big- BW pipe with small/low power parts. From what I saw thusfar, the small/low power seems to fit. But what kind of ranges can I expect for a 1MB channel?:smt102:
Thanks Michael
