Abstract:

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are used for public networking and for scientific purposes. Communication via satellite begins when the satellite is positioned in its orbital position. Ground stations can communicate with LEO satellites only when the satellite is in their visibility region, since LEO satellites move too fast relative to a fixed point (ground station) on the Earth. The major loss in communication between the LEO satellite and the ground station is the free space loss. Free space loss varies since the distance from the ground station to the satellite varies over time. Free space loss is usually compensated through variable satellite transmit power on the downlink. This paper tries another approach on free space loss compensation, through receiver bandwidth adjustability at the ground station, in order to obtain the constant margin at the receiver. For analytical and simulation purposes, the altitudes from 600km to 1200km are considered.
