    B.
    1991-92
    C.
    1989-90

    EHF
    B.
    UHF
    C.
    VHF

  7. Orbital disturbances of a geosynchronous satellite are caused by the

  8. A.
    moon
    B.
    sun
    C.
    earth
    D.
    all of the above

  9. Which one of the following statement is correct?

  10. A.
    Satellite spacing is not affected by the bandwidth of the transmitting earth station

    Use of high-frequency bands permits less number of satellites to share the orbit
