Question: What is the primary factor used to determine the Reference Element (RE) power control dynamic range for a Satellite Access Node (SAN)?
Option 1: The difference between the power of an RE and the minimum carrier output power (Pmin,c)
Option 2: The ratio of the power of an RE to the average RE power at minimum carrier output power
Option 3: The sum of the power of all REs for a SAN at maximum carrier output power
Option 4: The difference between the power of an RE and the average RE power for a SAN at maximum carrier output power (Pmax,c,TABC)
Explanation: The correct answer accurately reflects the definition of RE power control dynamic range. This range is crucial for understanding power variability among Reference Elements within a Satellite Access Node at maximum operational capacity, ensuring optimal performance and preventing interference. The other options are incorrect as they refer to minimum power conditions or propose irrelevant calculations not aligning with the concept of dynamic range in telecommunications.
