Brief STK tutorial showing how to create a basic link budget. Includes data overlay showing instantaneous time, satellite position and ground AZ,EL pointing angles. Also covers generating and importing custom antenna patterns, visualization of the antenna patterns, and how to incorporate customized environmental RF impairments such as atmospheric losses and rain loss.
The sensor tracking function is used in this tutorial which requires STK Pro. The Comms License is also required in order to perform the link analysis.
