Column Listing

Column	Column Name	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1	Xmtr Model	Xmtr Model	Text	Unitless	The transmitter model type. This can be one of ten types: Simple Source Transmitter, Medium Source Transmitter, Comlex Source Transmitter, Multibeam Source Transmitter, Laser Source Transmitter, Plugin Source Transmitter, GPS Satellite Source Transmitter, Simple Retransmitter, Medium Retransmitter, and Complex Retransmitter.
2	Number of Beams	Number of Beams	Real Number or Text	Unitless	The number of beams modeled by the transmitter. If the transmitter type does not model beams (e.g., Simple Source Transmitter), "N/A" is reported.
3	Frequency	Frequency	Real Number or Text	Frequency	Frequency that the transmitter or receiver is tuned to or operating at.
4	EIRP	EIRP	Real Number or Text	Power	The effective isotropic radiated power is the product of the transmitter power and the transmitter boresight gain with the inclusion of user-defined post transmit gains and losses.
5	Gain	Gain	Real Number or Text	Ratio	Antenna gain (in dBi) of the transmitter or receiver. It is dependent on the antenna type used. For medium and laser transmitters or receivers, this value is a constant defined by the user. For complex and multibeam transmitters and receivers, the maximum antenna gain for the selected antenna type or the receiver is reported. The simple transmitter or receiver model assumes an isotropic antenna and therefore reports the antenna gain as a constant 0.0 dB.
6	Power	Power	Real Number or Text	Power	The RF power output of the transmitter as measured at the input to the antenna. This is a user selectable value. For retransmitter's, "N/A" is always reported.
7	Data Rate	Data Rate	Real Number or Text	DataRate	The data rate of the source transmitter. For retransmitter's, "N/A" is always reported.
8	Gains & Losses	Gains & Losses	Real Number or Text	Ratio	The total post-transmit gains and losses of the transmitter.
9	Saturated Flux Density	Saturated Flux Density	Real Number or Text	PowerFluxDensity	The retransmitter's saturation flux density. This value represents the amplifier's saturation point in terms of the input flux density in dBW per meter squared and is the per carrier flux density for systems supporting multiple carriers per transmitter. For source transmitter's, "N/A" is always reported.
10	Saturated EIRP	Saturated EIRP	Real Number or Text	Power	The simple retransmitter's saturated effective isotropic power (EIRP). This value represents the EIRP at the output of the transmit antenna when the amplifier is at its saturated state and is the per carrier EIRP for systems supporting multiple carriers per transmitter. For all other transmitter types, "N/A" is always reported.
11	Saturated Output Power	Saturated Output Power	Real Number or Text	Power	The retransmitter's saturated output power. This value represents the RF Power output of the transmitter as measured at the input to the antenna when the amplifier is at its saturated state. For source transmitter's, "N/A" is always reported.
12	CDMA Spreading Gain	CDMA Spreading Gain	Real Number or Text	Ratio	The source transmitter's code division multiple access (CDMA) spreading gain. This value is computed as 10 * log10(chips/bit). For retransmitter's, "N/A" is always reported.
13	CDMA Gain Select	CDMA Gain Select	Text	Unitless	The status of the code division multiple access (CDMA) feature for source transmitter's. If CDMA is enabled, "True" is reported; otherwise, "False" is reported. For retransmitter's, "N/A" is always reported.
14	Polarization	Polarization	Text	Unitless	Polarization shows which polarization type has been selected for the antenna. Polarization is a property of an electromagnetic wave that describes the orientation of the electric field vector with reference to the antenna's orientation. The three basic types of polarization are linear, elliptical and circular. In special cases of linear polarization, the electrical field is aligned vertically or horizontally with reference to the antenna. Circular polarization can be right-handed or left-handed. STK computes the polarization match, which is a quantity between a transmitter and a receiver based on their polarization types, positions, and attitudes. If a receiver or transmitter is of a single-beam type, the Model page for that communications object allows you to select among several polarization types, and, depending on the type selected, to specify one or more parameters. For multi-beam models, polarization is defined in the Modify Antenna Beam window.
15	Polarization - Vertical Reference Axis	Polarization - Vertical Reference Axis	Text	Unitless	Vertical reference axis specifies the axis (X, Y or Z) with respect to which the electrical field is oriented. This is applicable to linear, vertical, horizontal or elliptical polarization. Otherwise, N/A is reported.
16	Polarization - Tilt Angle	Polarization - Tilt Angle	Real Number or Text	Angle	Tilt angle is the angle between the vertical reference axis and the x axis of the coordinate system. This is applicable to linear or elliptical polarization. Otherwise, "N/A" is reported.
17	Polarization - Axial Ratio	Polarization - Axial Ratio	Real Number or Text	Unitless	Axial ratio is the ratio of the major to the minor axis of the polarization ellipse. This is only applicable to the elliptical polarization type.
