Abstract

A novel receiver front-end simulation model is proposed to perform a systematic analysis of signal- and noise levels, SNR degradation, system IP1dB compression point and power consumption. The model is applied to a fully digital receiver in a K-band SatCom use-case. Using this simulation model, key design trade-offs in component properties, multiplebeam forming architectures and power consumption are jointly identified and visualized.
