### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Communication Satellite**: - A communication satellite is a type of satellite that facilitates communication between two or more locations on Earth. It acts as a relay station for signals, enabling the transmission of data, voice, and video over long distances. 2. **Functionality**: - Communication satellites are positioned in orbit around the Earth and can provide a communication link between a transmitting station (such as a radio or television station) and a receiving station (like homes or businesses). They help in connecting remote areas where direct communication is challenging. ...

    Satellite communication is a mode of communication of signal between transmitter and receiver through satellite. The satellite communication is like the line of sight microwave communication. A communication satellite is a space craft placed in an orbit around the earth provided with microwave transmitting and receiving equipment called Radio transponder. The range of microwave frequencies used in satellite communication for uplink is 5.925 GHz "to" 6.425 GHz and for downlink is 3.7 GHz "to" 4.2 GHz . (i) How is the line of sight microwave communication possible through satellite? (ii) Why can't a single satellite cover the whole earth for microwave communication? (iii) What is the practical utility of satellite communication?
