Abstract:
A method for auto-scaling satellite receiver characteristics wherein the method is incorporated into a satellite system analysis computer program for design selection comprising:(a) defining first transmitter characterstics;(b) automatically defining first receiver characteristics based upon the first transmitter characteristics;(c) defining the communications link between the first transmitter and first receiver;(d) generating first communication link performance data;(e) determining acceptability of the first communications link performance;(f) creating second transmitter characteristics when first communication link performance is unacceptable;(g) automatically creating second receiver characteristics based upon the second transmitter and second receiver characteistics;(h) generating second communications link performance data based upon the second transmitter and second receiver characteristics;(i) determining acceptability of the second communications link performance; and(j) accepting the revised transmitter add revised receiver characteristics when link performance data is acceptable.
