Link budgets are living a new era specially with new technologies such as Flat Panel Antennas, ACM, and the launches of LEO and MEO. Complexity have grown exponentially; much more complex than ever before.

The first step in designing a satellite network is to perform a satellite link budget analysis in any Satellite network and constellation. The calculation of the received power is a set of complicated processes that no everyone could find the right answer, therefore, a specialist is called to manage this complex task involving a complex excel sheet.
