Garuda Indonesia With Retro Color Scheme

Image
By
I was on Ngurah Rai airport Bali on May 22th,2011. When in process of boarding to my plane, I was looking at a interesting color scheme plane beside my plane that I used to board. So, I get it photograph

I can tell it interisting, because that color scheme I remember it used by Garuda Indonesia long time ago. Then, I search some answer why there is a plane of Garuda Indonesia use that color scheme.
At last, I get information that this retro color scheme used for Garuda Indonesia new units of Boeing 737-800 NG. Nice move of Garuda Indonesia, to remind us what their painted color plane in the 1960s until 1980s.

Satellite Communication - Part 4 (CPI)

By
Cross Polar Isolation (CPI) In installation and pointing/peaking antenna, Orthogonal Mode Transducer (OMT) must be set to be as precise as possible to get the best CPI value. above is picture of OMT Feed assembly include with BUC and LNB The minimum value for CPI is 30 dB (better will be good) in Linier Polarized Antennas. The reason is for our receive (Rx)-side as not to get interferenced (distrubed) by other (polarity) Down-Link users, therefore our transmit (Tx) shoild as well not interfere other users that operates at 90 deg (Orthogonal) Polarization. Note : In LH/RH Circular Polarizations, usually CPI of 27dB (=AR of 1.09) is acceptable enough. picture above is careless/miss-aligned OMT setting

Satellite Communication : Transmission Bands

By
A satellite link is a radio link between a transmitting earth station and receiving earth station through a communications satellite. A satellite link consists of one uplink and one downlink; the satellite electronics (i.e., the transponder) will remap the uplink  frequency to the downlink frequency. The transmission channel of a satellite system is a radio channel using a direct-wave approach, operating in at specific RF bands within the overall electromagnetic spectrum as seen below : The table below shown some key of physical parameters of relevance to satellite communication,  The frequency of operation is in the super high frequency (SHF) range (3-30 GHz). Regulation and practice dictate the frequency of operation, the channel bandwidth, and the bandwidth of the subchannels within the larger channel. Different frequencies are used for the uplink and for the downlink. Frequencies above about 30 MHz can pass through the ionos...

Satellite Communication - Part 1

By
In this occasion, i want to share about Satellite communication. First, please look at the picture below, Planets of our Solar System God created Moon as our Earth satellite. In order to broading our communication, people tend to use artificial satellite for communication. Based on orbits, these are the type of satellites : Low Earth Orbit (LEO)              Height : 750-2500 Km,       Period : 2 - 2.5 hours Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)       Height : 7500-10000 Km,   Period : 4.5 - 6 hours High Earth Orbit (HEO)             Height : 15000-20000 Km, Period : 11-12 hours Geo-Stationary Orbit (GSO)      Height : 36000 Km,             Period : 24 hours Incline Orbit Satellite (drifting > 0.1 deg. N-S an...
