Earth Station Parameters

On each of the Sidebar tabs a set of Earth Station parameters are presented.

On the Location tab, you can set:

  • earth station location
  • earth station height
  • terrain height
  • horizon elevation around the earth station – derived from the terrain data or input by hand

On the Transmit and Receive tabs:

  • select and define the antenna performance – based on masks or user defined equations and tables
  • set transmit power / EIRP levels
  • define receiver noise levels

On the Satellite tab:

  • select or define a satellite system

As you add and change parameters on the four tabs, the Appendix 7 contours will update to reflect the new data.
