Ground Locations
Earth Station Locations
Ground stations are to be located in Seattle, WA, Columbus, OH and Atlanta, GA. These stations are proposed to have both the transmitter and receiver described in the hardware description. These locations were chosen for their differences in latitude, longitude and Rain Climate Zones within the Continental United States (CONUS.)
Satellite Location
For the purpose of our analysis, we have chosen a Geo Stationary sattelite from the database. The name of the satellite is DirecTV-8 and it is located at 100.8 W. This longitude is also approximately the center to our three Earth stations.
