Computer-based impairment restoration analysis

Reports on the development of a computer program for the automated comparison of propagation impairment restoration techniques for satellite communications in the 14/11 and 14/12 GHz frequency bands. The software developed-the impairment restoration technique analysis program (IMPRES)-is a flexible analysis tool for identifying the technical, economic and logistic solutions to a given impairment restoration problem. IMPRES offers a consistent and reproducible means of evaluation restoration techniques
