Visualyse PMGT (PFD Mask Generator Tool)

Visualyse PMGT Cover Image

The Visualyse PMGT (PFD Mask Generator Tool) is an add-on to the Visualyse EPFD product.

It can be used to generate PFD Masks to meet the requirement of Recommendation ITU-R S.1503.

There are a number of different link design and antenna pointing options that can be used by non-GSO satellite systems, including:

  1. Steerable spot beams, either physically pointed or using electronic steering
  2. Fixed beam pattern of beams, which might be tilted and / or switched off depending upon geometry
  3. Single fixed beam which is either on or off, such as an isotropic, omni or isoflux antenna used for TT & C.

This tool can be used to model systems with options 1 or 3.

Satellite systems with a fixed pattern of beams can best be modelled using Visualyse Professional.

Visualyse PMGT (PFD Mask Generator Tool) uses a tabbed interface to define all the parameters required, as shown in the figures below:
