From the method described previously, we have developed three Matlab programs enabling to compute or visualize the influence of various parameters according to what is assume known or not.

h2. Computation of the MODCOD and (G/T) required:

Supposing that the specifications and frequency band are known (_Rb, R, f, B_ and _EIRP_ are known), we directly get all the parameters for the system design by following the method described previously.

We can see from these two simulations that:
24 12 GAY, Adrien
* The higher the Bandwidth, the lower the Modcod
25 12 GAY, Adrien
* The higher the frequency, the higher the free space loss, and then the higher the (G/T) and EIRP requested to compensate these losses.

Moreover, we can evaluate the requested gain of the antennas from the (G/T) values. In fact, we have been told by Mr Perrin that the receivers temperature was between 400K and 600K, depending on the quality receiver and the directivity of the antenna (looking toward the ground or not?).

Then, a (G/T) of -27.3 dB corresponds more or less to an isotropic antenna, and a (G/T) of -16.9 dB corresponds to a 9 dB gain antenna, which is easily feasible at the 5 GHz frequency.

h2. Influence of the bandwidth on the EIRP:

If the regulatory frequency for application is known, this tool enables to visualize the tradeoff between the EIRP and bandwidth to fulfil the specifications:

h2. Influence of the distance on the bite rate:
55 1 GAY, Adrien
56 1 GAY, Adrien
If the required system design is too constraining for a given specification, and then not achievable, we might lower our expectations and have a tradeoff between the desired bit rate and the range

We can notice the bite rate is dropping quickly with the range of transmission. Then, the video transmission can be lost if the aircraft moves just a little bit too far of the limit range.
