Overview & Key Features
Designed for comprehensive laboratory testing, this simulator enables evaluation of satellite communication equipment prior to live deployment on non-geostationary satellites.
Pre-Deployment Testing
Used to thoroughly evaluate satellite communication equipment in the laboratory prior to using actual non-geostationary satellites.
Supported Platforms
Hosted on AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU102 (with AD9361 RF Transceiver) and RFSoC ZCU111 Evaluation Kits.
Network Parameter Ingestion
Reads network parameters including Two-line element (TLE) data, satellite schedules, and channels information from SDB files.
Orbit & Link Estimation
Precisely estimates satellite coordinates, expected path delay, and Doppler shifts across the link.
Monitor & Control Interface
Features a CLI-based Monitor and Control (M&C) system to configure and monitor simulation parameters in real time.
MEO Satellite Profile Example
Sample delay and Doppler profiles generated for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite link simulation:
MEO Path Delay Profile
Real-time path delay estimation over a satellite pass.
MEO Doppler Shift Profile
Frequency offset variation curves modeled over time.
