Homework Statement
Question: If the attenuation between Earth and satellite is 190dB, with reference to attenuation explain why there should be a difference between uplink and downlink?
(I am a senior high school student so I haven't learned in too much depth)
The Attempt at a Solution
My question is what role does attenuation play in the difference between uplink and downlink. All I have been taught up till now is that if the frequencies are close in the frequency spectrum, they might interfere. But what relation does attenuation have with frequency? (If somebody could provide a little intuitive approach towards "swamping" before using it in a post", that would be very helpful)
