Abstract
AbstractThe simulated results and experimental measurements of the Olympus SS‐TDMA link are presented. The degradations of the satellite link were simulated using semi‐analytic and Monte Carlo methods. These results are compared with the experimental results. The simulated results show good agreement with the measured results. The paper includes the description of the experimental test set‐up, and the operation of the acquisition and synchronization unit (ASU) along with the TDMA reference and traffic terminals used in the experiment. These tests demonstrated the reference‐to‐remote and remote‐to‐reference as well as reference station loopback tests using the SS‐TDMA payload.The simulated results of multicarrier operation are given. These results were obtained in order to predict the degradation due to TWTA operating point, carrier fade and adjacent channel interference for the purpose of link budget analysis to achieve the required satellite link performance. The simulated results for the TWTA operating point degradation as well as carrier fade are also compared with the measured satellite link degradations.
