Product Description

Satellite Communications Toolbox provides standards-based tools for designing, simulating, and verifying satellite communications systems and links. The toolbox enables you to model and visualize satellite orbits and perform link analysis and access calculations. You can also design physical layer algorithms together with RF components and ground station receivers, generate test waveforms, and perform golden reference design verification. 

With the toolbox you can configure, simulate, measure, and analyze end-to-end satellite communications links. You can also create and reuse tests to verify that your designs, prototypes, and implementations comply with satellite communications and navigations standards, DVB-S2X, DVB-S2, CCSDS, and GPS. 

Key Features and Benefits

  • Scenario Generation and Visualization - generate satellite scenarios. Model and visualize satellite orbits. Perform access and link analyses with ground stations.
  • Link Budget Analysis - configure, analyze, and visualize link budgets for satellite communications. Perform availability and sensitivity analyses.
  • Waveform Generation - generate standard-based waveforms for satellite communications (DVB-S2, DVB-S2X, and CCSDS) and navigation (GPS). Use your generated waveforms as a golden reference for your design.
  • Link-Level Simulation -simulate satellite communications links with DVB-S2, DVB-S2X, and CCSDS transmissions. Model propagation channel, transmitter, and receiver operations. Analyze link performance by computing bit error rate (BER) and packet error rate
  • Golden Reference Design Verification - use customizable and editable algorithms as golden references for design verification. Generate C code from open MATLAB algorithms using MATLAB Coder.
