With the growing demand for global satellite communication in commercial business and defence applications, it’s more important than ever to test and validate satellite components, subsystems, and datalinks. This process presents many challenges, including the need for accurate simulation and performance data, the complexity of operating scenarios, the dynamism of the satellite channel, and the high cost of testing solutions. Testing satellite communication datalinks requires a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) approach. This webinar will review a satellite link emulation example that helps to address the challenges of datalink validation.
