The amount of data that can be received, processed, and transmitted by a satellite are commonly stated in megabits per second (one million bits of data per second) or gigabits per second (one billion bits per second).
Read moreHow is RF bandwidth calculated?
The required bandwidth is related to bit rate and the modulation order M. It is so that the double sided bandwidth w = symbol rate= bit rate rb/ divided by the number of bit per symbol n . The number of bits per symbol is = log 2M with M is the M is the QAM modulation order.
