Abstract-Adequate link budget tools are required by satellite operators to generate optimized transmission plans that satisfies customer diverse demands using transponder resources (power and bandwidth) efficiently. Satellite operator has to face with a number of communication scenarios depending on the service. These scenarios cover from forward links used for DTH (Directto-Home) to bidirectional networks where both forward and returns can share the transponder resources. Moreover, a transition from desktop implementations to web-based applications is a must for satellite link budget tools. In this contribution, we present a web-based application entitled HispaSim conceived for the analysis and optimization of satellite link budgets that incorporates administration of users and database. HispaSim application has been developed by the Grupo de Radiación
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
