Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: SatNews
Product Code: R169-2
Description
This CD-ROM is the complete database on over 500 satellites and 15,000 companies and contains the most used calculation tools in the industry. With a very fast search ability plus hundreds of EIRP maps not published anywhere else the tools section allows you to calculate link budgets, look angles and other functions.

SATfinder has all the information you need to operate successfully in the satellite industry.

The DATABASE SECTION has information on over 500 satellites (orbital location, frequencies, EIRP, G/T, SFD, bandwidth, programming etc.) and 9,000 companies (address, tel, fax, web, products, services and contact names etc.) and 19,000 executives in the commercial satellite industry. Containing a very fast search ability plus over 800 hundred EIRP, G/T & SFD maps in color not published anywhere else. Users can search from amongst Company Information, Satellite Details, What's On Satellite, Uplink Providers, Country Standards and a full List of Executives.

The CALCULATION SECTION is a program for calculating look angles, magnetic variation, azimuth bearing, link budget analysis, antenna sizing and aiming, dish gain, side lobe gain, focal distance, path loss, slant distance, G/T, C/N, video and audio S/N and many other details.

Please Note: This product is updated quarterly.

CALCULATION SECTION


Digital Link Budgets:

Full up-down digital link budget calculators with input provision for uplink power control (UPC), ALC, various interferences and multiple carriers. Finds HPA size, uplink power requirements, bandwidth and power usage per carrier. Calculates atmospheric losses and rain fade margins for any desired availability on uplink and downlink. Handles BPSK, QPSK, M-PSK or M-QAM with any FEC code rate. Determines power or bandwidth limited modes and calculates the power equivalent bandwidth, if appropriate. Provision for RS codes or 'Turbo' modems. Option for rain up AND rain down scenarios where uplink and downlink are from/to the same city.

Features included:

Digital link budgets for Satellite TV, SNG, radio and data

Sun outage prediction (single site and satellite)

Sun outage batch file handling (multiple sites or multiple satellites)
