Abstract

The task of obtaining the performance of a communications receiver is difficult, since it involves the implementation of the physical layer transmission and reception chains and also requires great computational time, since Monte Carlo methods make up the base of link-level simulations. The DVB-RCS2 standard provides some receiver performance data which is rather restrict. This limits the capacity analysis made through a system level simulator. The objective of this work is to assess the DVB-RCS2 performance using a Python simulator developed by the authors for a much broader range of SNR values and for a comprehensive set of transmitter-receiver configurations.
