14.11. Satellite

Summary: The satellite component is a simulated satellite, which handles uplink-

downlink relay of signals transmitted from a simulated radio in SATCOM mode,

including simulation of mode-dependent delays.

Description: The satellite component represents a simulated satellite, and can be

configured to relay uplink signals from radios configured in SATCOM mode.

Realistic simulation of satellite parameters, including delays based on SATCOM

sub-modes, world position, uplink and downlink bands, are included.

Add multiple satellite components to a model to simulate multiple, independent

satellites.

SATCOM sub-modes include:

• 5k Dedicated

•5k DASA

•5k DAMA

• 25k Dedicated

• 25k DC DASA

• 25k AC DAMA

• 25k DC DAMA

Propagation effects including smooth earth occulting and terrain occulting (through

use of a terrain server) can also be included.
