Implementation¶

At this point we were familiar with the system analyse of a link budget, knowledge acquired throughout the different subjects imparted in the master course and especially thanks to the realisation of the project 2 (Design of a regional multi-beam satellite system), that has an strong bond with the present project.

Diagram block of application development¶

The diagram below shows the planning with the different phases we have designed in order to perform the successful and coherent development of the tool.

In short, the first steps were to decide what would be the basic structure of our link budget program and identify all the parameters and possible calculations, as well as the logical place to perform them in this structure. Thus, a preliminary design with the fundamental and simplest conditions would be performed, to then add gradually other features in order to improve its capabilities. Finally, verification of results and testing with subjects would be done in order to finish the complete design of the tool.

A continuación se detallan más detenidamente estos pasos de la implementación:

link budget es muy complejo --> desglosar e ir por etapas
The idea was to at first design the main link budget.

Overview Application Plan¶

In order to design a tool to help the comprehension in Link Budget analysis, firstly it is necessary to identify the topology of the satellite system communication and divide it in block groups. The division was made taking into account the path of the signal and the equipment, as well as the service provide. The divisions are: Geometry System, uplink, payload, downlink, service & overall link.
Looking for a good way to show the groups we've decided to show ¿...?¿? {TODO}

Just a little introduction: we have distributed our tool in 6 tabs: Geometry System, uplink, payload, downlink, service & overall link
In the following pictures we present a first implementation (they are sketches) for the tabs:
