Satellite system interference modeling (11.7-12.2 GHz)

The analysis and results are presented of a modeling technique to calculate the interference of a satellite network in the presence of other satellite networks. Five specific cases are reported: 81 satellites placed in (a) four homogeneous blocks, (b) seven homogeneous groups, (c) somewhat inhomogeneous groups (two cases), and 60 highly constrained or structured satellites. As the inhomogeneity increases, it becomes more difficult to obtain an optimum orbital separation between the satellites.
