The IZT C6000 is a Satellite Link Emulator that provides the simulation of complete satellite links including payload, uplink and downlink effects. The emulator offers a real-time simulation of influences on the signal at the satellite (non-linearity, IMUX / OMUX filter, phase noise, interference, antenna gain, Doppler shift) as well as on the transmission link (interference, rain fading, scintillation, reflections, thermal noise). It has a state-of-the-art Graphical User Interface that allows changing all parameters of the setup easily. The system can be remotely controlled through SCPI and SNMP.
The IZT C6000 can be used to simulate satellite-based communication systems prior to their realization. In addition, complex operational scenarios for equipment (receivers, transmitters, satellite phones) and satellite testing can be set up in a very cost-effective way. The IZT C6000 is a scalable system based on individual hardware units that can be configured from uni-directional links to bi-directional links with hundreds of terminals with a bandwidth of up to 600 MHz.
