Abstract :
Using elliptical beam models the mutual interference among all DBS (direct broadcast satellite) systems within a region can be calculated using a software package called SOUP (Spectrum Orbit Utilization Program). The authors discuss the addition of a shaped beam model to this software. This software has been used extensively for the DirecTv Direct Broadcast Satellite system for the United States. Test results on the shaped beam model are presented, and it is concluded that, with the addition of a convenient shaped beam model, SOUP can be an extremely useful tool for the coordination of real-world DBS systems.<>
