Used for antenna control unit (ACU) software development
Reads network parameters (Two-line element–TLE data, Satellite schedule and Channels information) contained in System Data Broadcast (SDB) files received via FTP/ RSYNC protocols
Estimates satellite co-ordinates, expected path delay and receive Doppler
Supports spherical and oblate earth models
Allows for corrections due to atmospheric refraction and earth station altitude
TLE extracted parameters are verified with other tools (e.g., Gpredict)
Compatibility with Linux OS enables quick integration
Source code available with MIT license
An auxiliary software module that simulates ACU to Modem communications is also available
Can be adapted for other (e.g., LEO) constellations
