1 | Time | Time | Real Number or Text | Date | Time. |
2 | Link To ID | Link To ID | Integer | Unitless | Refers to the ID of the transmitter in the link analysis. |
3 | IF Source ID | IF Source ID | Integer | Unitless | IF source ID refers to the ID of the interferer(s) in the CommSystem. |
4 | Interferer Name | Interferer Name | Text | Unitless | The interferer name is the path and name of the interferer object(s) in the CommSystem. |
5 | Xmtr Power | Xmtr Power | Real Number | Power | The RF power output of the transmitter as measured at the input to the antenna. This is a user selectable value. |
6 | Xmtr Gain | Xmtr Gain | Real Number | Ratio | The 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. |
7 | EIRP | EIRP | Real Number | Power | The 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. |
8 | Xmtr Azimuth - Phi | Xmtr Azimuth - Phi | Real Number or Text | Angle | The transmitter azimuth (Phi) is the angle between the transmitter body +x axis and the x-y projection of the link vector. |
9 | Xmtr Elevation - Theta | Xmtr Elevation - Theta | Real Number or Text | Angle | The transmitter elevation (Theta) is the angle between the transmitter antenna bore-sight vector and the link vector. |
10 | Range | Range | Real Number | Distance | The range (i.e., distance between the primary and secondary object) at the given time. |
11 | Rcvr Azimuth - Phi | Rcvr Azimuth - Phi | Real Number or Text | Angle | The receiver azimuth (Phi) is the angle between the receiver body +x axis and the x-y projection of the link vector. |
12 | Rcvr Elevation - Theta | Rcvr Elevation - Theta | Real Number or Text | Angle | The receiver elevation (Theta) is the angle between the receiver antenna bore-sight vector and the link vector. |
13 | Rcvd. Frequency | Rcvd. Frequency | Real Number | Frequency | The 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. |
14 | Rcvd. Power | Rcvd. Power | Real Number | Power | The 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. |
15 | Rcvr Gain | Rcvr Gain | Real Number | Ratio | Receiver Gain is the antenna gain (in dBi) of the receiver which is dependent on the antenna type used. |
16 | Rcvr NormGain | Rcvr NormGain | Real Number | Unitless | The normalized gain of the receiver is the ratio of the gain in the link direction to the max gain of the receiver's antenna. |
17 | Rcvr Loss | Rcvr Loss | Real Number | Ratio | Receiver loss is the propagation loss through the channel between the transmitter and receiver. |
18 | Bandwidth Overlap | Bandwidth Overlap | Real Number | Ratio | The 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. |
19 | Pwr Flux Density | Pwr Flux Density | Real Number | PowerFluxDensity | The 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". |
20 | C/I | C/I | Real Number | Ratio | In 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. |
21 | Pol. Rel. Angle | Pol. Rel. Angle | Real Number or Text | Angle | The angle corresponding to the relative mismatch between the transmitted signal polarization and the receiver polarization. |
22 | Polarization Effic | Polarization Effic | Real Number | Ratio | The 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. |
23 | Free Space Loss | Free Space Loss | Real Number | Ratio | Loss due to propagation through free space. |
24 | Atmos Loss | Atmos Loss | Real Number | Ratio | Loss calculated by the selected atmosphere model. |
25 | Rain Loss | Rain Loss | Real Number | Ratio | Loss calculated by the selected rain model. |
