Abstract

The work presented here describes the features and capabilities of the Spanish Optical Link Analysis Software (SW) Simulation Tool developed by the INSA Research and Development Department. This program provides communication and system engineers with a SW simulation tool to analyze optical communications links for different scenarios and with different optical payload onboard, either a standard optical terminal equipped with a telescope and an acquisition, pointing and tracking system, or a modulating retro-reflector system.
