Display parameters for EPFD(IS)
The parameters that can be displayed for EPFD(IS) runs are shown below. Note that, with the exception of the location information, these parameters are displayed for each nonGSO satellite that is visible to the GSO satellite.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| non-GSO off axis angle | The angle between the line from the non-GSO satellite to its sub-satellite point and the line from the non-GSO satellite to the GSO satellite. This is used to calculate the EIRP from the mask. |
| GSO off axis angle | The angle between the line from the GSO satellite to the GSO associated Earth station and the line from the GSO satellite to a non-GSO satellite. |
| Distance from nonGSO to GSO | The distance between a non-GSO satellite and the GSO satellite. This is used to calculate pathloss. |
| Name | The name of each satellite and Earth station. |
| x, y, z coordinates | The x, y, z coordinates of each satellite and the GSO associated Earth station. |
| Latitude, Longitude and Height above the Earth | The latitude, longitude and height above the Earth of each satellite and the GSO associated Earth station. |
| non-GSO EIRP | The EIRP from a nonGSO satellite. |
| Spreading loss | The loss in the direction of the GSO satellite from a nonGSO satellite. |
| Relative Gain at the GSO satellite | The relative gain calculated at the GSO satellite in the direction of a nonGSO satellite. |
| EPFD contributions | The EPFD contribution from a nonGSO satellite. |
| Total EPFD at the GSO satellite | The total EPFD at the GSO satellite for the current time step. |
