7. An antenna on the Earth's surface sends a signal as a plane-wave to a satellite orbiting the Earth at the geostationary orbit. Assume the antenna on the satellite is A m2 across. Assuming (though incorrect) the Earth's atmosphere and outer space both to be a lossless media, what is the expression of the ratio of the power transmitted versus power received in dB? Assuming the Earth's atmosphere and outer space together present an average attenuation, what does the ratio become? 4 points
