Abstract
Desde el inicio de la exploración espacial, los sistemas de comunicación por satélite han sido una alternativa viable para la transmisión de información.
Como se verá en el presente documento, los sistemas de comunicación por satélite son complejos, se requieren multitud de cálculos para conseguir los resultados esperados. Por ello, son necesarias herramientas informáticas que permitan diseñar y simular las órbitas y coberturas en un sistema de comunicaciones por satélite.
El presente trabajo fin de grado pretende, precisamente, desarrollar una herramienta que permita diseñar y simular las órbitas y coberturas en un sistema de comunicaciones por satélite. Hay que decir que nuestra herramienta no se limita a estos requisitos; nuestra herramienta proporciona una interfaz gráfica muy útil para el usuario, también dispone de varias funcionalidades adicionales como, por ejemplo, la visualización 2D y 3D de la simulación y el establecimiento de rutas. Gracias a dichas funcionalidades adicionales, se ha conseguido una función didáctica para nuestra herramienta ya que facilita la comprensión de los parámetros básicos de un sistema de comunicaciones por satélite.
Se presentarán los fundamentos de la mecánica orbital y de las propias comunicaciones por satélite, con el fin de mostrar la base sobre la que se sostiene nuestra herramienta.
Se ha utilizado el lenguaje de programación Java para el desarrollo de la herramienta.
No obstante, se han considerado otras alternativas para dicho desarrollo, siendo Java la mejor opción según nuestro criterio.
Una vez desarrollada la herramienta, se ha evaluado su rendimiento mediante diferentes pruebas, a fin de comprobar su correcto funcionamiento.
From the beginning of the space exploration, the satellite communications systems have been a viable alternative for the transmission of information. As we will see later, the satellite communications systems are complex, it is required lots of calculus to obtain the expected results. Therefore, we will need computing programs that allow design and simulate orbits and coverages in a satellite communications system. The goal of this final degree project is develop a program that allows to design and simulate orbits and coverages in a satellite communications system. We have to point out that our program isn’t limited to these requirement, it works with a graphic interface very useful for the user, also has various additional functionalities like, for instance, the 2D and 3D visualization of the simulation and the establishment of routes. Thanks to these additional functionalities, the program has a didactic function, as it facilitates the understanding of the basic parameters of a satellite communications system. We will see the foundations of the orbital mechanics and the foundations of the satellite communications, in order to show the base of our program. We have used the Java programming language for the development of the program. Nevertheless, we have considered others alternatives for this development. According to our opinion, Java is the best option considering the different alternatives. Once the program has been developed, we have evaluated its performance by different tests. Our main purpose is to check the correct working of the program.
