For this question, you can expand the issue through the following statements:
1. Assume a single ground receiver.
2. Satellite constellation 'A' contains payloads with frequency-hopping transmitters.
3. Satellite constellation 'Fixed' contains payloads with set, fixed frequency transmitters. How does constellation 'A' impact the 'Fixed' constellation in terms of SNR degradation and other link budget parameters?
4. Now add satellite constellation 'B' with another set of frequency-hopping transmitters (different frequencies). What is the SNR degradation between 'A' and 'B'?
The attached scenario has the following setup:
Three constellations:
Constellation 1 = AFreqHopSrc = LEO constellation with a frequency-hopping transmitter plugin on each satellite
Constellation 2 = FixedInterferer = LEO constellation with a simple transmitter on each satellite
Constellation 3 = BFreqHopInterferer = LEO constellation (slightly staggered) with different frequency hopping transmitter plugin on each satellite
Three Comm Systems:
CommSystem1 = AFreqHopSrcInterferingFixed = Constellation 1 versus 2
CommSystem2 = BFreqHopInterferingAFrepHopSrc = Constellation 1 versus 3
CommSystem3 = FixedInterferingAFreqHopSrc = Constellation 2 versus 1
The Receiver is a fixed receiver on the ground (autotracked).
