The earth area covered by a satellite radio beam is known as ____
A
Beam width
B
Band width
C
Footprint
D
Zone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The area of earth covered by radio beam from a satellite dish (transponder) is called satellite footprint.

Detailed explanation-2: -The footprint of a communications satellite is the ground area that its transponders offer coverage, and determines the satellite dish diameter required to receive each transponder’s signal. There is usually a different map for each transponder (or group of transponders), as each may be aimed to cover different areas.

Detailed explanation-3: -The satellite coverage area is defined as a region of the Earth where the satellite is seen at a minimum predefined elevation angle. The satellite’s coverage area on the Earth depends on orbital parameters. The communication under low elevation angles can be hindered by natural barriers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Atmosphere. Land. Ocean. Product Suites. Imagery. 12-Jul-2016

Detailed explanation-5: -First, determine the radius of the sphere/earth. Next, determine the distance of the satellite from the surface. Next, gather the formula from above = A = 50% / (1+R/d). Finally, calculate the Satellite Coverage Area. More items •02-Nov-2022
