R&S®GSASLP SATELLITE LINK PLANNER

Link budget calculation and optimizationR&S®Satellite Link Planner helps engineers to simulate and model the impact of dedicated transponder distortions on SATCOM carriers. In this respect the impact of dedicated signal distortions on mission planning or payload design can be quantified in terms of carrier-to-noise ratio loss or capacity degradations. R&S®Satellite Link Planner link bud-get calculations are based on a set of internationally rec-ognized methods (ITU recommendations) which are often required.

Satellite network planning and optimizationSystems using R&S®Satellite Link Planner are capable to model ground stations with their specific parameters e.g. the transmitting and receiving antenna gain, the maximum

effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) or the output power. Additionally users can model the space segment as well by managing available satellites, transponders and their footprints. R&S®Satellite Link Planner uses a wide data base for satellites and footprints to simplify the work for the user.

Route planning and satellite payload optimizationR&S®Satellite Link Planner helps users planning mo-bile SATCOM scenarios by managing route navigations. Based on the given route and data rate requirements, R&S®Satellite Link Planner searches for the best pos-sible transponders by following criteria e.g. the data rate requirements, the coverage of the transponder beams which should provide coverage over the entire route or the SATCOM band of interest (C, X, Ku, Ka band etc.).

R&S®Satellite Link Planner is a SATCOM analysis and optimization software solution, covering all aspects of modern satellite communications. R&S®Satellite Link Planner perfectly supports major parts of the SATCOM value chain such as satellite system design, transmission planning and transponder usage optimization. R&S®Satellite Link Planner accurately models weather conditions, atmosphere effects and covers all RF transmission impairments of transparent payloads among all SATCOM bands of interest (C, X, Ku, Ka band etc.). Major signal degradations due to intermodulation, power robbing are accurately modeled and verified against vendor data and in orbit test campaigns.

R&S®GSACSM COMMUNICATION SYSTEM MONITORING

Remote spectrum monitoringR&S®GSACSM provides an interface for communicating with remote spectrum analyzers via remote connections; users can access their devices from all over the world. R&S®GSACSM supports monitoring of signals for one device at a time and for many different devices at once. R&S®GSACSM also handles different users monitoring the same device. Both a standalone application and a server/client solution are available.

Satellite transponder monitoringR&S®GSACSM autonomously scans transponder signals and identifies carriers, e.g. DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVB-CID. Scanning and evaluating signals continuously makes it

possible to detect wanted carriers with detailed informa-tion such as baud rate, modulation scheme, FEC rate, C/N and carrier frequency offset. It is also possible to track and identify unwanted services.

Carrier-in-carrier (CiC) detectionSystems using R&S®GSACSM can perform Carrier-in-carrier detection tasks, which are a major feature in mod-ern VSAT systems. Tasks such as paired carrier multiple access (PCMA) detection and signal identification and under-carrier signal analysis can be executed to find un-wanted interferers in such systems. The R&S®GSACSM integrates and extends the R&S®GSA1xxx VSAT intercept solution by remotely providing analysis functions.

R&S®GSACSM communication system monitoring is a SATMON software solution for remote spectrum monitoring and signal analysis. R&S®GSACSM comes with classic spectrum analyzer functions, trapping systems, and advanced signal detection and identification algorithms. The modern, adaptive GUI makes it easy to implement use cases e.g. interference identification or SatCom transponder analysis.

Key facts ► Multichannel power measurement, history logging and alarm trapping

► Classic software-based spectrum analyzer functions ► Adaptive graphical user interface and tailored special purpose solutions

► Autonomous detection and identification of terrestrial and satellite signals (e.g. GSM, DECT, DVB-S, DVB-S2)

► Autonomous detection and identification of paired-carrier multiple access (PCMA) and time-division multiple access (TDMA) signals

► Autonomous detection and identification of under-carrier signals

► Autonomous detection and identification of DVB carrier identification (DVB-CID) signals

CARRIER SCENARIO MANAGEMENTAnalyzing complex multi-carrier satellite link budget scenarios easily

► Link budget calculations based on ITU weather recommendations

► Link budget calculations based on adjacent satellite interference (ASI) and intermodulation

► Link budget calculations based on satellite bands e.g. X, C, Ka and Ku

► PEB evaluation (power and bandwidth consumption) ► Earth station EIRP evaluation ► Total carrier availability calculation ► Intermodulation power density analysis ► Link margin calculations ► Spread spectrum link analysis ► Maximum acceptable pointing error analysis ► CDMA link analysis (evaluating interference towards other non-CDMA carriers as well)

► Following frequency coordination limits based on ITU radio communication

► Modeling multi-carrier scenarios being analyzed ► Clear visualization of the results with well-presented charts

Well-presented detailed carrier analysis results

Systems using R&S®Satellite Link Planner are able to cal-culate link budgets for a wide range of satellite scenario use cases by including ITU weather recommendations (see also page 22) e.g. rain rate, gas attenuation or surface temperature. The table shows the entire propagation im-pairments used by R&S®Satellite Link Planner which en-ables users to cover major atmospheric influences.

Page 5: R&S®GSASLP SATELLITE LINK PLANNER R&S®GSACSM COMMUNICATION …€¦ · Satellite network planning and optimization ... R&S®GSACSM communication system monitoring is a SATMON software

Rohde & Schwarz R&S®GSASLP Satellite Link Planner R&S®GSACSM Communication System Monitoring 5

Additionally R&S®Satellite Link Planner covers ASI and intermodulation occurring in downlink and uplink com-munications. On the one hand ground stations can receive significant signal power levels from other satellites. On the other hand adjacent satellite can receive and broad-cast heavy uplink signals from ground stations. Both types of disruption are included in the link budget calculations helping users to consider all possibilities which can occur through a transmission in satellite bands of interest.

Besides SATCOM channel impairments R&S®Satellite Link Planner uses frequency coordination limits defined for sce-nario optimization.

The screenshot on page 4 shows an analyzed multi-carrier scenario with its carrier-to-noise ratio results in well-pre-sented charts and diagrams containing calculations for the described impairments.

A detailed link budget analysis overview function is avail-able as well as shown in screenshot on page 4. Here the carrier-wise bandwidth and power consumption (PEB) is detailed presented.

Systems using R&S®Satellite Link Planner uses these link budget calculations to verify multi-carrier scenarios being managed by the user as shown in the screenshot below. Users can easily generate their own multi-carrier scenarios with all necessary parameters that way.

Managing multi-carrier scenarios

Optimizing complex multi-carrier satellite link budget scenarios easily

► PEB minimization due to EIRP adjustments of the individual carriers

► Throughput maximization towards desired link availability requirements (considering weather and atmospheric losses)

► Satellite beam EIRP optimization ► Symbol rate and MODCOD optimization of individual carriers

► Constraining of usable TWTA power and bandwidth ► Minimizing transponder resources (power, bandwidth) for a given scenario.

► Performing route (way point) optimization ► Performing equipment (dish size) optimizations

R&S®Satellite Link Planner multi-carrier scenario optimiza-tion provides a complete transponder allocation plan in-cluding ground segment parameters, modulation/coding schemes per carrier and the space segment gain setting. Multiple operational criteria are used to perform scenario optimization e.g. required BER, required link availability or frequency coordination limits. Though, users can easily op-timize the previously generated results from the analysis process. Afterwards users can take the results to setup the carrier configuration in real test scenarios.

FIG 1: Antenna footprint visualization

Geographical information is one of the most important as-pects in SATCOM link planning and optimization. It cov-ers coverage information of satellite antennas as well as ephemerides data and geo-location data of earth stations. Systems using R&S®Satellite Link Planner can visualize lo-cations and antenna footprints as shown in FIG 1 which gives a neat overview of all available footprints for the user.

The user will also have the capability of creating and pop-ulating its own personal satellite objects, which shall be saved using persistent services.

From the IBO/OBO charts R&S®Satellite Link Planner de-rives the TWTA gain for both operation modes (right) where the gain-loss in the multi carrier mode becomes vis-ible. If no dedicated curve is available, R&S®Satellite Link Planner provides typical curves for linearized and non-lin-earized TWTAs. The user can also simply assign a desired IBO/OBO pair for any transponder if required.

Performing and visualizing satellite coverage analysis ► Analyzing impairment coverage e.g. for rain based on a given antenna footprint

► Visualizing coverage results clearly to the user

Coverage analysis can be performed as depicted in the screenshot on page 8. Here, the rain attenuation is dis-played by means of a color code which is overlaid over the footprint, taking input parameters such as (signal frequen-cy, desired link availability, footprint file etc.).

Equipment and transponder optimization

Optimizing satellite and transponder equipment ► Checking uplink and downlink data rate ► Checking modem types used ► Checking anchor station and remote station (e.g. a VSAT terminal)

► Checking used bands (e.g. C, X, Ku, Ka)

R&S®Satellite Link Planner equipment optimization pro-vides the best suited satellite equipment and transponder to meet a given user data rate requirement as given in the screenshot below. Users can define the required PEB con-sumption if a dedicated transponder is used. Thus all tran-sponders which are proposed by the optimization func-tions are checked to ensure full coverage of the uplink and downlink footprints. Antenna size, modem type and BUC power of remote equipment can be defined as well and will be taken for the equipment check. Finally a bandwidth and power optimized setting is proposed by R&S®Satellite Link Planner.
