Study of Azimuth Angle and Elevation Angle Variations of IRNSS/NavIC Signals

Abstract

The IRNSS satellite network covers a large area of the India with 7 satellites, 3 geostationary and 4 that are geosynchronous. IRNSS signals are transmitted in the L5 and S-Bands. The L5 band frequencies range from 1164.45-1188.45 MHz and the S band frequencies range of 2483.5-2500 MHz. NavIC is the IRNSS satellite constellation network that can be employed to a variety of applications. The paper shows the analysis of the azimuth and elevation angle with respect to carrier to noise ratio. This study will be stepping stone for the collection of data using reflectometry. The different graphs were obtained and analyzed. Satellite tool kit is also used for the analysis of the elevation and azimuth angle.
