- Link Budgets

## It is a theoretical calculation of end-to-end performance for a communications path under a specific set of conditions.
Sometimes the conditions are stated; most often at least some of them are implied or assumed.
Every link budget implies everything not included is irrelevant.
Sometimes this is true

- Sometimes the conditions are stated; most often at least some of them are implied or assumed.
- Every link budget implies everything not included is irrelevant.
- Sometimes this is true

- What Is a Link Budget

## Why is a Link Budget Important

- A link budget is used to predict performance before the link is established.
- Show in advance if it will be acceptable
- Show if one option is better than another
- Provide a criterion to evaluate actual performance

## Link Budget Components

- A satellite link budget should include the following parts:
- UPLINK
- DOWNLINK
- COMBINE 1 AND 2
- DEFINE PERFORMANCE LIMIT(S)
- COMPARE CALCULATED AND DESIRED PERFORMANCE

## EXAMPLE PART 1

| Parameter | Value in dB |
| --- | --- |
| Uplink transmit EIRP | 48.0 |
| Net uplink losses | -177.3 |
| Satellite receive G/T | -17.0 |
| Boltzmann’s constant | (-198.6) |
| Uplink receive C/N0 | 52.3 |

## EXAMPLE PART 2

| Parameter | Value in dB |
| --- | --- |
| Downlink transmit EIRP | 22.5 |
| Net downlink losses | -190.1 |
| Satellite receive G/T | 15.0 |
| Boltzmann’s constant | (-198.6) |
| Downlink receive C/N0 | 46.0 |

## EXAMPLE PART 3

| Parameter | Value in dB |
| --- | --- |
| Uplink receive C/N0 | 52.3 |
| Downlink receive C/N0 | 46.0 |
| Combined C/N0 | 45.1 |
| Data rate in dB (1200 bps) | 30.8 |
| Calculated link EB/N0 | 14.3 |

## EXAMPLE PARTS 4 & 5

| Parameter | Value in dB |
| --- | --- |
| Calculated link EB/N0 | 14.3 |
| Required EB/N0 | 11.7 |
| Operating margin | 2.6 |

## LINK BUDGET EVALUATION

- The basic question is: Is the operating margin large enough?
- It must be positive to account for the items listed in the budget
- It also must cover the variations caused by everything that was not explicitly included
- Therefore a more useful question is: What was not included in the budget that might be a significant factor?

## EVALUATION (continued)

- Some factors I consider important are:
- Satellite non-linearity (NPR)
- Satellite transmit power for your signal
- Interference (including CDMA if implemented)
- Allowance for future (worse) conditions
- Lifetime of the system under evaluation
- How closely can it be maintained at the parameters used in the budget

- We developed a method for effectively fabricating large arrays of single crystals of a wide range of organic semiconductor materials directly onto transistor source-drain electrodes. Field-effect transistors made of single organic crystals are ideal for studying the charge transport characteristics of organic semiconductor materials. Their outstanding device performance, relative to that of transistors made of organic thin films, makes them also attractive candidates for electronic applications such as active matrix displays and sensor arrays. The only approach currently available for creating single crystal devices is manual selection and placing of individual crystals—a process prohibitive for producing devices at high density and with reasonable throughput. We fabricated large arrays of high-performance organic single-crystal field effect transistors with mobilities as high as 2.4 cm2/Vs and on/off ratios greater than 107, and devices on flexible substrates that retain their performance after significant bending. These results suggest that our fabrication approach constitutes a promising step that might ultimately allow us to utilize high-performance organic single crystal field-effect transistors for large-area electronics applications.

## The Issue: Land Area

- David Pimentel: *Renewables would require one-sixth of US land area to provide only one-half of US energy* (BioScience, Dec 2002)
- Looking closer: the Pimentel problem comes from assuming fuel comes from biomass
- Instead: PV, wind, solar thermal could supply fuel via electricity-to-hydrogen
- But because wind cost is inversely proportional to the **cube** of the wind speed, not enough economical wind resources exist to produce enough electricity to meet US/global needs
- Wind may be 5 ¢/kWh in the *best* sites, but in a site with half the wind speed, it is 23 or 8 times more expensive (40 ¢/kWh) – wind economics depends on ‘cherry picking’ sites
- Only flat-plate PV combines the ubiquity and potential economics to locally supply all the world’s energy without impacting land area
- Using PV to supply all US electricity and all US energy requires only 0.4% and 1.2% of US land area, respectively (compare to 33%, determined by Pimentel; *and this includes zero credit to PV for using roof space!*)
- At this size, and using roof space advantageously, PV would almost be unnoticeable (US military bases and Farm Set-Aside Land are each about 1% of US land area now)
- Why is this true? **Because flat-plate PV is more sunlight-to-electricity efficient than other options, converters can be packed together better, and PV is *****inversely proportional to***** *****a nearly universal resource***** – local sunlight – so if it can be cheap *****anywhere*****, can be cheap *****everywhere*****.**
- Conclusion: the goal of cost-effective PV is a superbly valuable goal for the Nation, since the payoff is so large (practical, potentially dominant, renewable energy production worldwide)

## Helpful Fire Cause and Origin Observation Tips

- Observation is key in helping local fire investigators determine cause and origin of hum,an-caused fires. The following tips can assist the investigation process:

## Helpful Fire Cause and Origin Observation Tips continued...

- Contact local fire department or law enforcement agency with initial observation of suspicious activity.
- Make a detailed record of suspicious activity; take photographs of area, if possible.
- Record descriptions of any vehicles and license plate numbers in the surrounding area.

## Helpful Fire Cause and Origin Observation Tips continued...

- Record descriptions of individuals and their activities.
- Take good notes of observations. These notes can become critical in future investigation processes.
- Protect the area around the fire’s point of origin, if possible.
- Use good public relations and common sense. Don’t hesitate to make sure individuals know of fire restrictions and proper use of fires.

## INTEX-B Trajectory Products Available on the FSU Website

**Trajectory Description**
- Kinematic trajectories are calculated from 1° x 1° NCEP GFS model data during the INTEX-B period
- 10 day backward and forward trajectories are calculated once every 60 seconds of flight time
- Initiation points are based upon latitude, longitude, pressure level (altitude), and time of day
- Trajectories were calculated for all flights during INTEX-B, along the flight track
- Trajectories were also initiated at the standard pressure levels of 850, 700, 500 and 300 hPa for the same latitude, longitude and time of day as the flight.
- Backward trajectories quantify where the air sampled during a flight originated, both in time and space.  They can identify regions of convection as well as stagnant regions due to a system of high pressure.
- Forward trajectories quantify where the air sampled during a flight is going to travel.  The use of these was very beneficial during the flight-planning for identifying emissions from individual locations in southeast Asia.
- During MILAGRO, forward trajectories showed that much of the Mexico City outflow was to the northeast during the month of March.  This air directly influenced pollution levels over much of the southeast United States.

**Website Description**
- Trajectory plots can be viewed at the following web-address:
- 	*http://fuelberg.met.fsu.edu/research/intexb/traj/traj.html*
- Password protected for a total of one year after the completion of INTEX-B
- Username: intexb
- Password: pacific
- Navigating the site, you will find backward and forward trajectory plots for all DC-8 and C-130 flights during INTEX-B.
- There are also stationary forward trajectory plots initiated at 850, 700 and 500 hPa twice daily for the month of March over Mexico City.
- Additional meteorological and trajectory data can be found at the Fuelberg-lab’s Main
- 	INTEX-B website:
- 	*http://fuelberg.met.fsu.edu/research/intexb/*
- There is a link to this page at the top-right of the trajectory plots page as well.
- This page contains trajectory intersection data for all flights during the MILAGRO portion of INTEX-B
- Coming soon, all of the trajectory intersection data from the INTEX-B Meteorological Overview presentation by Henry Fuelberg will also be posted.
- An archive of satellite and model data, as well as weather briefings in the field are also located at this website.
- Links to posters given at this meeting as well as the first MILAGRO meeting are located here.

## Slide 1

**Notes:**
Let me cover in this brief presentation four topics:

First let me discuss what is the relationship between E-Government and Development.

Let me proceed emphasizing how we link our E-Gov program to the E-Mexico Project that Dr Margain presented yesterday.

Then I want to give you a flavor of what we are doing in E-government that is purposedly linked to development objectives.

And I will finish by reflecting about the ways in which a country like Mexico can leverage technology for the good of its society.

**There is a great progress in democratic quality of the State that enforce the possibility of a deep change in relations between the civil society and governments**
**Therefore, transparency and access to information materialize a modern, new and important right for all Mexicans. **

***Information Management Strategies to Ensure Transparency in Government ***

**Today 28 States of the Federation already count also on their own legal orderings. **
**Both facts show that transparency is an authentic national agreement to transform and to democratize to the State at all levels.**

***Information Management Strategies to Ensure Transparency in Government ***

***Information Management Strategies to Ensure Transparency in Government ***

## Information Management Strategies to Ensure Transparency in Government 

***Information Management Strategies to Ensure Transparency in Government ***

**Transparency can be found in various Federal Government “executive branch” agencies that report to the President of Mexico. **
**From food, to medicine and education, everyday lives of citizens are touched in many ways by decisions issued by these agencies.**
**There are numerous ways for individuals to have an impact on policy-making procedures of the executive branch.**
**Some groups attempt to influence all three branches of the Federal Government — Judicial, Legislative, and Executive**

***Information Management Strategies to Ensure Transparency in Government ***

**In Mexico, transparency in judicial proceedings, much of which evolved from Federal Law, has generally provided the right to a public trial.**
**Over the course of its history, the Congress has opened itself to influence from many citizen groups and organizations, and to comment from knowledgeable experts, officials, and citizens during “hearings” on proposed legislation or important issues.**** **

***Information Management Strategies to Ensure Transparency in Government ***

**States are becoming more transparent, the internet enables an unprecedented level of government transparency and public participation.**

## Slide 9

**Notes:**
Let me cover in this brief presentation four topics:

First let me discuss what is the relationship between E-Government and Development.

Let me proceed emphasizing how we link our E-Gov program to the E-Mexico Project that Dr Margain presented yesterday.

Then I want to give you a flavor of what we are doing in E-government that is purposedly linked to development objectives.

And I will finish by reflecting about the ways in which a country like Mexico can leverage technology for the good of its society.

## DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND COMMUNICATION WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIESByGift MafulekaDepartment of Poverty and Disaster Management Affairs, Malawi15th March 2006 San Jose, Costa Rica.

## OUTLINE

- Background
- Activities of the department in relation to early warning systems – preparedness
- Sources of information on flash flood forecasting
- Communication channels
- Challenges

## BACKGROUND

- Land area: About 118,000 sq Km, 20% of which is water
- Population: 12 million  plus (1997 population census)
- Country amongst the last 6 least developed in the world
- Dopdma placed within the office of the President and Cabinet
- Mandate of the Department, coordinate disaster activities
- Institutionalized CPCs at grass roots revels

## MAP OF MALAWI

## ACTIVITIES OF THE DoPDMA IN RELATION TO EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS - PREPAREDNESS

- The country is in the process of formulating the National Disaster Management Plan and the Operations Manual
- Development of Flood Contingency plans for flood prone districts – 8. Done at the District level with local communities
- Assigned disaster officers at district levels (funding from UNDP)
- Conducted training for CPCs at all levels (district, area and village). Committees to act as frontline personnel in disaster issues

## SOURCES OF INFORMATION ON FLASH FLOOD FORECASTING

- Meteorological Department
- Ministry of Water and Irrigation Development
- Local communities  - local indigenous knowledge

## COMMUNICATION CHANNELS

- Meteorological Department issues press release to stakeholders through both electronic and print media
- DoPDMA alerts district Commissioners especially  those in flood prone areas to activate their Flood Contingency Plans
- Within rural setting, local leaders use call boys to alert the communities of the impeding hazard
- Local leaders then order evacuation and re-allocation of people to higher grounds if need arises

## CHALLENGES

- Getting the right type of information from relevant stakeholders
- Poorly developed infrastructure and communication facilities.
- Lack of state of the art equipment to have timely,  right predictions, and  therefore right information
- Lack of trained  personnel at all levels – need for on-going training programs because of high  turnover of personnel
- Inadequate communication media (channels) at local levels  - not very reliable and sustainable

## CHALLENGES (continued)

- Uncoordinated approaches to dissemination of information to the users – political  perception  of early warning versus relief activities, people’s perception regarding handouts
- Problems with decision making when it comes to information  regarding evacuation of the people
- Inadequate financial resources to coordinate and operationalize such activities at all levels
- Cultural issues – social aspects in areas prone to floods (people not willing to move to higher grounds for fear of losing their livelihoods/social structure strata)

## Bureau of ReclamationRio Grande Project

- Vegetation Management at Caballo and Elephant Butte Reservoirs

## History

- Flood Control Act of 1948
-    directed The Bureau of Reclamation to       make studies to determine feasible ways and means of reducing nonbeneficial of consumption of water by vegetation in the floodplain of the Rio Grande and its principle tributaries above Caballo Reservoir...

## 1957

- Entered into a cooperative program for Vegetative Control and Water Conservation at Caballo Reservoir with New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (ISC)
- March 12, 1957 Began clearing in the Caballo floodplain utilizing dozers equipped with root rakes. (Eventually clearing 6,300 acres at Caballo)

## 1972

- Began a similar program at Elephant Butte Reservoir where 4,900 acres have been cleared and maintained.

## Maintenance

## Who will outlast the other ?

## The Light at the end of the tunnel?

## New Tools

## Diorhabda elongata

## Herbicide Treatments

## Foliar Application using Ground Rig

## Cut Stump Treatments

## Removing trees

## Getting a bigger tool!

## Williamsburg BendBefore Treatments

## Williamsburg BendAfter Treatments

## An Even Bigger Tool!

## Work at Bosque Del Apache NWR

## Recent Activities

- Treated  200 acres of saltcedar using tractor mounted sprayer with Arsenal and Arsenal plus Roundup herbicides for efficacy study.
- Completed mechanical removal of large saltcedar in Williamsburg Bend area followed by cut stump applications with Garlon herbicide.
- Cooperatively working with La Union Soil & Water Conservation District to remove saltcedar in Leasburg State Park on 35 acres.

## Just Ahead!

- Working on NEPA to complete Caballo Project to treat roughly 6,000 acres.
- Drafting a Memorandum Of Understanding between Reclamation and  Sierra County Soil & Water Conservation District to include Elephant Butte Reservoir lands for treatment using herbicide applied via helicopter under their Lower Rio Grande Saltcedar Control Project.
- Currently mapping vegetation in Elephant Butte to provide gps data for herbicide applications and for the purpose of ESA compliance.

## On The Horizon!

- Working with USDA-ARS and APHIS to continue research for release of biological control agents (specifically the chinese leaf beetle).
- May have approval to begin releases in New Mexico as early as 2004 on the Pecos River.
- Host Range Studies since 1996 show that the beetle is specific to saltcedar.

## Implications – Constrain the Accretion Disk Models

## Gravitational Lens RXJ1131-1231

- HST image of RXJ1131, the central object is a galaxy, which acts as a lens.  The images A-D (three on top, one on bottom) are four images of the same quasar.

## Microlensing Magnification Pattern

- We know the sizes of these patterns. These patterns are  just like rulers, and we use these rulers to measure the size of the quasar accretion disk.

## Critical Path Changes

- Critical path _float_ went from 0 months to +9 months
- 2009 shutdown corrected (+2 months float)
- Last spool required later than shutdown start (+2 months float)
- Last spool redefined as last “required” spool (+1 month float)
- Design, procurement, fabrication times re-analyzed
- Spool bidding process (+7 months float)
- Additional up front design effort has made this possible
- Spool production (-3 months float)
- Closer analysis of DFBX production experience
- In addition, corrector procurement process was reduced by 4 months to remove it from the critical path
- Based on communication with 4 labs; have detailed schedule estimates from BNL and CERN
