How is tropospheric correction/effect generated in Skydel?

Hi,

Can anyone explain how Skydel generates the tropospheric correction/effect on signals from satellite to ground UE? If in particular I chose Saastamoinen model, what is the magic hehind so that the tropospheric delay is automatically generated?

Hi @hongzhaozheng,

The tropospheric effect is implemented in Skydel as a delay.
For the Saastamoinen model, you can actually find the information on the literature.

Thank you @Grace for the reply. I did a little research about the Saastamoinen model already. To calculate the tropospheric delay, I assume that you have used some default values for the parameters in the Saastamoinen model, right? If I want to implement the tropospheric delay on the custom signal, I might want to use the same parameters Skydel used for fairness.
