Non-geostationary satellite delay / Doppler simulator

Home / Projects
  • Used to evaluate satellite communication equipment in the laboratory prior to using actual non-geostationary satellites
  • Hosted on:
      • - AMD's Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU102 Evaluation Kit (with Analog Devices AD9361 RF Transceiver)
      - AMD's Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU111 Evaluation Kit
  • Reads network parameters (Two-line element–TLE data, Satellite schedule and Channels information) contained in System Data Broadcast (SDB) files
  • Estimates satellite co-ordinates, expected path delay and Doppler in the link
  • CLI based Monitor and Control (M&C) to configure and monitor the simulation parameters
  • Example below shows delay and Doppler profiles of a MEO satellite:
