Rigorous analysis on performance of LEO satellite ground station in urban environment
Abstract
Microsatellites in low Earth orbits (LEOs) have been in use for the past two decades. LEO satellites are used for public communication and also for scientific purposes, and the orbits vary with the type of satellites and the primary purposes. LEO scientific satellites have a variety of applications, including Earth surveillance and astronomy applications. These satellites provide opportunities for investigations for which alternative techniques are either difficult or impossible to apply. Thus, it may be expected that such missions will be further developed in the near future especially in fields where similar experiments by purely Earth‐based means are impracticable. Ground stations have to be established in order to communicate with such satellites, and the quality of communication depends on the performance of the satellite ground station, in addition to that of the satellite. Before the implementation of the ground station, analyses related to environmental factors have to be considered, especially in urban areas. Rain effects, the impact of intermodulation products, and contact time duration at low elevation angles are some of the aspects that are considered in this work and which influence the final decisions on the design of the ground station. Measurements on the ground station based on Sun flux density are described, which provide an opportunity to check the performance of the ground station. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Considering a safe margin, the designed horizon plane elevation ranges from 5° to 30°.
“Considering a safe margin, this elevation ranges from 5˚ - 30˚ [4-6].”
From The Range and Horizon Plane Simulation for Ground Stations of Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) Satellites (2011) · cites this paper as [6]
The practical elevation values range from 1° to 4°.
“The practical elevation values ranges from 1˚ - 4˚ [6].”

The practical (visible) horizon plane is always shorter than the ideal horizon plane because of natural barriers or high buildings in urban areas.
“Because of natural barriers practical (visible) horizon is always shorter than ideal one.”
From The Range and Horizon Plane Simulation for Ground Stations of Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) Satellites (2011) · cites this paper as [6]
The shortest slant range occurs at 90° elevation, when the satellite appears perpendicularly above the ground station.
“From Figure 6 it is obvious that the shortest range occurs at 90˚ elevation, since the satellites appears perpendicularly above the ground station [6].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
