SD EX-STANDARD GUNDAM EXIA (GN-001)

New line in Bandai's Gunpla product is SD-EX. Recreating older SD Gundam in 100% new mold with better detail and articulation.

Now, I did assemble SD-EX Gundam Exia (codename Gundam Seven Sword)

The completed one (after did assembly, put stickers, and lining) :

Good new design and looks cool. Different proportion that old SD-Gundam, head is smaller and have legs 😄, although when looking it from behind, legs not good to see, as it look empty.

Details are better than the old SD ,but with some elements missing from original Exia's design. First, it's no clear part at all. Second, GN condenser on the right and left hand are missing, replaced for shield's grip. Third, no iconic clavicle antenna at the torso 😑

This Exia are equipped with some weapons : GN Blade, GN Shield, and GN Sword, but not with Beam Saber.

Now, it's pose time :

As my review on it, this one is versatile kit to pose around with its all weapons. Good articulation, good proportion, and good detail for an SD. But I am not so comfortable with this Exia's design and its a lot of stickers.

Recommended for Exia's fans (like me) 😊

Satellite Communication - Part 4 (CPI)

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

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...

High Throughput Satellite Service - more than modems and transmission

The advent of High Throughput Satellite (HTS) has been significant amount of new satellite capacity come online in recent years, prompting industry-wide disruptive innovation. This lower cost capacity enables a new era of satellite communications, with innovative new applications spreading around the world. However, there are a number of factors that must be considered for the operation of a successful HTS service. The satellite industry is undergoing a dramatic evolution as more and more High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capacity is introduced to markets around the world, like Intelsat Epic , Inmarsat Global Express , Viasat-2 , SES-12 ,etc. HTS is bringing more and lower-cost capacity that enables the satellite industry to cost-effectively provide large-scale internet services to rural and other hard-to-serve areas around the world. To enable these services, many providers are focusing on selecting the optimal ground system, and rightly so, because the ground system is a key e...
