Abstract:
A method of optimizing a link budget analysis comprising performing a first LBA based on a target modulation and coding pair (MODCOD), the MODCOD having a symbol energy to noise density ratio (Es/No), a target setting of a power amplifier, or a target antenna size, determining an excess margin and increasing or decreasing a maximum available MODCOD accordingly, iteratively performing a second LBA, calculating a ratio of allocated bandwidth to PEB and adjusting at least one of the MODCOD, amplifier power, and antenna size, summing a contribution to a final ratio of allocated bandwidth to PEB of the plurality of communications links, accessing a look up table and selecting a new MODCOD or adjusting the amplifier size or antenna size is based on the ratio of allocated bandwidth to PEB and altering one or more transmission or receiving parameters to apply the optimal MODCOD, amplifier size, or antenna size.

Abstract:
A method of optimizing a link budget analysis (LBA) for a link comprising performing a first LBA based on a target modulation and coding pair (MODCOD) based on one or more link parameters, the MODCOD having a predetermined symbol energy to noise density ratio (Es/No), calculating a ratio of allocated bandwidth to a power equivalent bandwidth (PEB) for the link and converting the ratio to Decibels, determining whether additional energy is present by summing the Es/No for the link at the target MODCOD and the calculated ratio of allocated bandwidth to PEB, accessing a look up table to determine an optimal MODCOD for the link wherein if the sum is a positive value, selecting a MODCOD having a higher Es/No and if the sum is a negative value, selecting a MODCOD having a lower Es/No and altering one or more transmission or receiving parameters to apply the selected optimal MODCOD.
