Objectives
The activity is a follow up activity of the precursor SatcomWeather project with the focus on product development but also on additional de-risk activities
The main objectives are to develop the algorithms and infrastructure to calculate products such as
- installation quality,
- footprint move (on Earth surface), an
- empiric update of link budget maps (in contrast to model based link budgets) and an
- empiric validation of the footprint form.
Side products which are developed include
- local signal level estimations,
- rain detection,
- signal level change detections and
- a comparison of signal quality measurements of different VSAT systems
Challenges
Design, implement and operate the HW and SW infrastructure to enable access to the given amount of data of >20.000 stations over more than two years.
Develop, implement, test, optimize the above-mentioned products. The validation is the biggest challenge as no external validation seems possible.
System Architecture
The system architecture is distributed as shown in the picture.
