Objectives
The Project develops and validates end-to-end performance simulators for flexible Very High Throughput Satellites embarking active antennas and digital processors.
Challenges
The simulator assesses VHTS payload performance in the far field with realistic signal excitation, focusing on architectural and functional performance with emphasis on high simulation speed.
System Architecture
High-level architecture of STRATIFY Simulator is based on an Object-Oriented development approach based on the organisation and implementation of module representative of typical VHTS system mainly for the space segment as in following figure:
STRATIFY Simulator basic software architecture
The STRATIFY Simulator workflow management is the main tasks of the Orchestrator module and it aims to overcome the sequential approach in the configuration and execution of the modules simulating the sub-systems composing the E2E VHTS System. In this way is possible to take advantage of the opportunity to parallelise some processing common between each module. This orchestrator role is detailed in following figure:
STRATIFY Simulator modules interoperability
The Orchestrator functionalities are complemented by the data format used for configuring the simulator and for managing the information produced and exchanged by the various modules.
Plan
The contractual milestones implemented in the Project frame execution after the Kick-Off are:
- Progress Meeting 1 (PM1)
- Mid Term Review (MTR)
- Progress Meeting 2 (PM2)
- Progress Meeting 3 (PM3)
- Final Review (FR)
Current Status
The Project has been concluded end of 2024.
