h1. Satlink Tool : A tool for analysing GEO Satcom
h2. TABLE OF CONTENTS
h2. INTRODUCTION
h4. h3. Context
SATCOM is the term used for communication via satellite. In this communication a signal is transmitted from the Earth up to a satellite, and then is received back at a different location on Earth. When the satellite is located on a geostationary orbit this process is called GEO satellite communication. The global analysis of a GEO satellite communication system depends on many different parameters: the position of the satellite and earth stations, the characteristics of analog RF links, the satellite payload, the environment and the characteristics of the digital link. The central analysis tool is the *link budget*.
h4. Objective h3. Purpose
The aim objective of this project work is to develop a comprehensive tool in LabVIEW that will offer future to the students the ability to test different satellite links links, and derive the end-to-end system performance. This software will offer the possibility be able to, from a set of input parameters, creatively show the expected link budget of the satellite in order to terms of determinate parameters like EIRP, G/T or G/T, BER. In addition, since a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) in SATCOM is intended to start in June 2015, it would be an interesting option to distribute this program thought the website of the SCS programme.
h4. Delimitation of system boards
This project is based in some pre-definitions which edged its application. These limitations are listing below:
