From the expression of the link budget, we get:

p=. $(\frac{G}{T})_{dB}=(\frac{E_{b}}{N0})_{dB}-10\cdot log_{10}(EIRP\cdot (\frac{\lambda}{4\cdot \pi\cdot R})^{2}\cdot\frac{1}{k\cdot R_{b}\cdot L_{marg}})$

With _Lmarg_ the only unknown which has to be evaluated in order to compute (G/T).

An accurate evaluation of the margin can be tricky and is not the aim of this project. Then we just roughly evaluated it:
10 1 GAY, Adrien
* Depointing of the antennas: Ldep= 3dB + 3dB=6 dB
11 1 GAY, Adrien
* Non-ideal demodulator: Ldem= 3 dB
12 1 GAY, Adrien
* Atmosphere attenuation (clear sky conditions): Lprop= 1.5 dB
13 1 GAY, Adrien
* Interferences: Lint= 1.5 dB

Then, we took _Lmarg= 12 dB_. However, the value of the margin can easily be modified for the simulations presented in _"Simulations and results"_  if needed.
