Abstract

Purpose. To analyze the simulation tools available in the Satellite Communication Toolbox expansion package for modeling the physical principles of the construction and operation of satellite communication systems in general and the link budget assessment in particular. The aim of the work is to prepare the groundwork for a training and methodological complex for studying the satellite segment of hybrid orbital-terrestrial communication networks. Methods: an overview of the simulation tools of the Satellite Communication Toolbox and their capabilities for studying the link budget of the satellite segment of hybrid orbital-terrestrial communication networks. Novelty. Unlike the works devoted to the study of the channel budget, the author’s approach consists in the formalization of proposals for the use of the simulation tools of the Satellite Communication Toolbox in solving typical practical problems of estimating the satellite communication channel budget in order to consolidate the studied physical principles in laboratory and practical classes. Results of this work is the preparation of materials for studying the satellite communication channel budget for educational and methodological purposes. Theoretical / Practical relevance: the significance of the presented material lies in the improvement of the training and methodological complex for studying the principles of construction and functional features of modern and promising satellite communication systems.
