Transit Outage
Generally, sun outages
occur in February, March,
September, October

This effect lasts for 6 days

around the equinoxes

This effect occurs for a

maximum period of 10
minutes
 Ef fects With
Remedies
➢ As the sun radiates strongly at
the microwave frequencies used
to communicate with satellites
(C-band, Ka band and Ku band)
the sun swamps the signal from
the satellite.

➢ The effects of a sun outage can

include partial degradation, that is,
an increase in the error rate, or
total destruction of the signal.
 conclusion
➢ In conclusion, sun transit outages are a
natural occurrence in satellite
communications and are caused by the
interference of the sun's radiation. These
outages are temporary and typically last for
a few minutes each day, depending on the
satellite's orbit and the geographical location
of the receiving antenna. Sun transit outages
can impact various sectors relying on
satellite communication, including
telecommunications, broadcasting, and data
services. However, these disruptions are
generally predictable and can be accounted
for in satellite network planning to minimize
their impact..
