Abstract: The design of satellite links at Ku-band must begin with site-specific data, individual user availability, and signal quality requirements. This article presents an aid for the design of several major system parameter tradeoffs that must be determined, given an accepted video transmission plan. Specifically, theoretical and experimental data published on U.S. communications satellites is combined to suggest user guidelines for arriving at practical link margin values. Once margin values are determined, a clear-sky C/N operating point can be established.
