Integrasys's Beam Budget is Ready for LEO and Flat Panel Antennas

Madrid, Spain, August 7, 2020--Integrasys's Beam Budget is ready for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations and Flat Panel Antennas (FPAs). Integrasys created Beam Budget, the unique and only technology solution that enables us to accurately calculate Link Budgets supporting LEO constellation and flat panel antennas.

Beam Budget has the availability for any frequency band, including Q and V whose high frequencies are more affected by atmospheric events. Thanks to Beam Budget small satellites constellations can design better, easier, and more effectively their networks for their constellations, and service providers can compare constellations and services before they choose the right partner.

The broadcasting and telecommunications industry is witnessing a new era, due to the arrival of LEO and MEO constellations and flat panel antennas. The new goal of the market is to look for solutions to achieve the effective use of the spectrum and provide higher bandwidth for matching the demand with reliable network technology.

Flat panel antennas are designed to fit in more types of platforms with its low profile and its flat surface, installations can become easier and faster. The greatest advantage of flat panel antennas is the ability to create Multibeams, which are able to point different constellations. At this part is where LEO satellites come on stage, the complexity of this communication system lies in their orbital movements which enables them to reduce the latency between devices. Therefore, flat panel antennas would be ideal to make this connection happen, as they can point to multiple satellites simultaneously. For example, the Connected Car is an application that will drive demand for  the flat panel antennas.

Beam Budget is the best satellite simulation tool, able to accurately model spacecraft transponders, beams and footprints; as well as ground equipment to assess the global performance of wide area satellite networks on multiple time-scales. Some of its key features include:

  • Scalability of users, networks and satellites.

  • 75 results for only 25 inputs.

  • Save your favourite setups for rapid retrieval.

  • The Web-based tool, accessible anywhere & anytime.

  • Flexibility in the selection of the location.

  • Minimizes time & effort, maximize ROI.

  • Any GXT satellite file supported.

  • Any typical satcom modulation supported.

  • Most accurate link budget calculation.
