Scenario Modeling & Array Design for Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs)
Overview
This webinar describes technical challenges of non-terrestrial communications networks (NTNs) implemented with low earth orbiting (LEO) satellites. It then describes how you can address those challenges through modeling and simulating the satellites and their orbits, the onboard antennas or antenna arrays, transmitter power amplifiers (PAs), the signal propagation channels, and the RF and digital segments of the receivers. You will learn about the importance and value of an integrated modeling approach that includes all the link components mentioned.
Highlights
Highlights include:
- Modeling large satellite constellations
- Analyzing and visualizing time-varying visibility and comms link closure
- Using graphically based apps for antenna analysis, for antenna array analysis, and for RF component design
- Modeling PAs and digital predistortion
- Including interference in your link simulations
Please allow approximately 45 minutes to attend the presentation and Q&A session. We will be recording this webinar, so if you can’t make it for the live broadcast, register and we will send you a link to watch it on-demand.
