| Title | Link Performance Analysis for LEO Inter-orbital Inter-satellite Communications at THz Band with Beam Pointing Errors |
| Summary | Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks rely on inter-satellite communication (ISC) to maintain seamless data exchange between satellites across different orbital planes. The terahertz (THz) band offers promising opportunities for high-speed ISC, with potential data rates reaching tens or even hundreds of gigabits per second (Gbps). However, several challenges affect ISC performance, including satellite position perturbations and inter-satellite distances which can cause beam misalignment and large-scale path loss. These factors contribute to increased bit error rate (BER) and outage probability, reducing overall link reliability. This project aims to develop a channel model for inter-orbital ISC at the THz band, incorporating mobility effects and beam misalignment analysis. The candidate will evaluate link performance using key metrics such as BER, outage probability, and ergodic capacity. Strong proficiency in mathematics and communication theory is required. Additionally, expertise in MATLAB programming is essential, including the ability to write and debug basic MATLAB scripts. |
