SATSOFT

SATSOFT is designed for communication satellite coverage planning, analysis, and preliminary antenna layout. Supplier-furnished antenna patterns can be imported and managed with the Pattern Data Manager and subsequently inspected and visualised on a world map, while coverage polygons can be defined and displayed on the map. Polygons, whether they are defined from political borders or by free-hand drawing, are easily enlarged to give a realistic account for any antenna or spacecraft pointing error... SATSOFT offers import of antenna patterns and simple, fast modelling using Gaussian beams with prescribed footprints. The optional Payload Antenna Planner (PAP) add-on provides physical optics (PO) analysis of array-fed offset reflectors and shaped reflectors as well as analytic direct radiating phased arrays, taking the design and analysis one step closer to real payload performance. Any of the above models can be used to synthesise and optimise antenna beams... TICRA represents the..
