Integrated measurement system design of satellite signals in real time which are influenced by rain attenuation

The largest frequency requirement for satellite channels used in Southeast Asia is the use of KU-Band and C-Band satellite channels. These two channels are a frequency range of a satellite communication channel which is very determined by the quality of signal power reception from the transmitting station to the receiving station. Innovation and development of satellite technology is needed because Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, is a tropical area that has very high rainfall. This of course will greatly affect the propagation of satellite communication in the use of satellite frequency channels above 3 GHz, especially for the use of satellite frequencies above 10 GHz which are very vulnerable to rain attenuation. This study conducted an integrated measurement system design in determining the effect of rain attenuation on satellite signal reception in real time for the measuring area of Pekanbaru City. The results showed that the design of the satellite signal measurement was successfully designed and obtained satellite signal data on the c-band and Ku-band channels and could produce the design of rainfall reception in a very short duration in the measurement time span of 10 seconds so that it would get realtime data in determining the influence of rain on satellite communications.
