Virtual Observer
Building such maps usually takes
>24 hours
, to allow each satellite to complete one cycle over the antenna (not to be confused with their
~12-hour orbital cycles).
Examples of 2D Linear and Cosine projection (polar) grids, as well as actual satellite trails recorded
This type of tool can also be used to evaluate and benchmark different antennas in real life and under the same conditions. The areas in
yellow indicate the directions with degraded satellite signals are, such as RF “shadows” cast bet trees and buildings. They can also indicate
interference. As the signal degrade even more they turn orange and red. The example below shows the correlation between the sky view map
and a map of the area around the antenna.
