Link Budget Analysis Tools

• Antenna Efficiency

  This tool calculates the efficiency of a satellite antenna based on the aperture, suggested gain and frequency.

• System G/T

  This tool will calculate your System Gain to Noise Temperature Ratio

• ERP / EIRP

  This tool calculates the Effective Radiated Power(ERP) and Effective Isotropic Radiated Power(EIRP) of a station based on antenna gain and Transmitter Power Output(TPO).

• Symbol Rate to Data Rate Calculator

  We use this tool to calculate the symbol rate of a carrier based on a data rate and vice-versa.

Throughput Analysis Tools

• Bandwidth Calculator

  This is a tool that we use to quickly compare the spectral performance associated with various FEC/Modulation combinations.

• TCP Throughput Calculator

  Perform a quick calculation of what you should can realistically expect in terms of TCP throughput from one host to anotehr over this long distance link.

Conversion Tools

• Eb/No to Es/No.

  While calculating the energy per bit was the old accepted standard, now with Adaptive Coding and Modulation, more and more people are using the energy per symbol.

• dbW / dBM to Watts.

  Convert the various power measurements to make HPA comparison simpler.

Antenna Tools

• Satellite Look Angle Calculator.

Calculate the look angle from your location to a satellite to help aim your satellite antenna
