XCAT-SPACE
Satellite and Aerospace Channel Emulator
- Satellite and Aerospace Channel Emulator
- XCAT-SPACE is a channel emulator designed to simulate wireless channels for satellite, aerospace, and airborne radio systems. It supports advanced testing for communication technologies in high-altitude and space environments. XCAT-SPACE expands Doppler shift effects and implements time delays, accurately simulating satellite and airborne communications. This enables the testing and optimization of radio systems for aerospace applications, meeting the increasing demands of the communication industry.
