The gain of a parabolic dish antenna, G=η√2(Dλ)2=(0.7).√2(13*10820*109)2,

G=30705.
In dB, G=10logG=45dB.

Using equation v=fλ.
it implies that λ=v/f=(3*10^8)/(20*10^9) = 0.015.

Gain of a parabolic dish antenna, G=Ae(πD/λ)^2 where Ae is the efficiency, D is the diameter, λ is the operating wavelength.
G = 0.7((π * 1/0.015)^2 = 30705.43591.

G in dB = 10log30705.43591.
= 44.87215267dB,
= 45dB.
