5Xmtr PowerXmtr PowerReal NumberPowerThe RF power output of the transmitter as measured at the input to the antenna. This is a user selectable value.
6Xmtr GainXmtr GainReal NumberRatioThe antenna gain of the transmitter which is dependent on the antenna type selected. For transmitter models that do not have an antenna model, this is a user defined value. For the simple source transmitter, 0 dB is reported since the simple source transmitter is modeled as an isotropic radiator.
7EIRPEIRPReal NumberPowerThe effective isotropic radiated power in the link direction. This value is the product of the transmitter power and the transmitter gain in the link direction with the inclusion of user defined post transmit gains and losses.
8Xmtr Azimuth - PhiXmtr Azimuth - PhiReal Number or TextAngleThe transmitter azimuth (Phi) is the angle between the transmitter body +x axis and the x-y projection of the link vector.
9Xmtr Elevation - ThetaXmtr Elevation - ThetaReal Number or TextAngleThe transmitter elevation (Theta) is the angle between the transmitter antenna bore-sight vector and the link vector.
10RangeRangeReal NumberDistanceThe range (i.e., distance between the primary and secondary object) at the given time.
11Rcvr Azimuth - PhiRcvr Azimuth - PhiReal Number or TextAngleThe receiver azimuth (Phi) is the angle between the receiver body +x axis and the x-y projection of the link vector.
12Rcvr Elevation - ThetaRcvr Elevation - ThetaReal Number or TextAngleThe receiver elevation (Theta) is the angle between the receiver antenna bore-sight vector and the link vector.
13Rcvd. FrequencyRcvd. FrequencyReal NumberFrequencyThe received frequency is the frequency that the receiver is tuned to in order to communicate with the transmitter. This frequency may be auto-tracked or entered by the user in the receiver properties.
14Rcvd. PowerRcvd. PowerReal NumberPowerThe power at the receiver after the receiver antenna gain is added (in dBW). It is equal to the EIRP in the receiver direction with all the channel losses as well as the bandwidth overlap and receiver gain applied.
15Rcvr GainRcvr GainReal NumberRatioReceiver Gain is the antenna gain (in dBi) of the receiver which is dependent on the antenna type used.
16Rcvr NormGainRcvr NormGainReal NumberUnitlessThe normalized gain of the receiver is the ratio of the gain in the link direction to the max gain of the receiver's antenna.
17Rcvr LossRcvr LossReal NumberRatioReceiver loss is the propagation loss through the channel between the transmitter and receiver.
18Bandwidth OverlapBandwidth OverlapReal NumberRatioThe bandwidth overlap factor is the fraction (between 0 and 1) of transmitted power which is contained within the receiver's bandwidth. The amount of power received by the receiver is equal to the transmitted EIRP multiplied by the bandwidth overlap factor and taking into account any propagation losses.
19Pwr Flux DensityPwr Flux DensityReal NumberPowerFluxDensityThe interference power from an individual interference source, crossing a unit area normal to the direction of wave propagation and computed over a reference bandwidth of either 1 MHz, 40 kHz, 4 kHz, or 1 Hz. See "Power Flux Density Technical Notes".
20C/IC/IReal NumberRatioIn the Interference Information data provider, C/I is the carrier power from the desired signal over the individual interferer power. Note that the Link Information data provider defines C/I as the carrier power from the desired signal over the sum of all interferer powers. If only one interferer is part of the CommSystem, the two data providers will report the same value for C/I.
21Pol. Rel. AnglePol. Rel. AngleReal Number or TextAngleThe angle corresponding to the relative mismatch between the transmitted signal polarization and the receiver polarization.
22Polarization EfficPolarization EfficReal NumberRatioThe polarization match between the transmitted signal polarization and the receiving antenna (or in case of Simple and Medium models implied antenna) polarization. It is computed on a scale of 0 - - 1. The value of 1.0 represents the perfect match between the transmitter and the receiver polarizations. On the opposite end of the scale, the value of 0.0 represents a perfect mismatch. STK also provides an option to model Cross Polarization Leakage value. The polarization mismatch value can not drop below the user specified Cross Pol Leakage value.
