Abstract
In general, emulation of satellite networks has been focused on representing the features of the access network, characterised by large complexity. Physical layer impact has usually been neglected or reduced to static and limited models. The aim of this work is to reformulate a new model of physical layer oriented to network emulation, adapted to multiple satellite systems and configurations. The main achievement of this work is the design of a simple method of analysis of end-to-end communication links, that can rely on separated uplink and downlink attenuation channels generated offline or in runtime. The model has been integrated in the open source platform PLATINE, showing an easy integration to distributed machine emulation and reproducing local propagation conditions for each ground terminal.
