Link analysis program LINKAN. Volume 2: User's manual
Abstract
The use of the program "LINKAN" to perform noise analysis on satellite communications links is described featuring a fading uplink and downlink, and a non-linear amplifier in the satellite. Fade distributions are specified numerically, or as certain standard distributions, and may be specified by aerial pointing error distributions together with the antenna gain. The variation of downlink noise with weather conditions is allowed for. The result is the distribution of the overall signal to noise ratio.
