Satellite Link Design: Find Tx for Satellite & Ground Sides

[warp_zone]

Homework Statement

Given:
Bit rate = C = 9600 bits/second
Channel Bandwidth = B = 10 MHz
Find Tx for satellite side and ground side

Homework Equations

Shannon's equation: C = B*log {1+(S/N)} (log is to the base 2)

The Attempt at a Solution

Well this is how I decided to approach the problem
Use Shannon's equation> calculate (S/N)> account for all the losses> calculate EIRP> calculate Tx
But I seem to be going wrong in the beginning itself
After computation, I calculated (S/N) to be -31.77 dB or -1.77 dBm (which is definitely wrong!)

Could you please point out the mistake? Is it in my computation or my interpretation of the Shannon's equation? Or is my entire approach gravely wrong?

Bit rate = C = 9600 bits/second
Channel Bandwidth = B = 10 MHz

IMHO the given bitrate is not correct. 9,6 kbps carrier can't take 10Mhz of bandwidth.
