Pointing loss

[Pesawat]

Dear all,

What is pointing loss?

Does it have anything to do with azimuth angle or only elevation angle?

Thank you

I have always heard (and used) the term pointing loss to refer to loss from being off the mark either on azimuth or elevation.

So, in link budget analysis.
Do i have to consider each of them separately or both of them simultaneously?

Pointing errors are not normally included in link budget calculations -- because they are preventable and correctable errors. They are an implementation error, not a design issue.

Have you tried the Satellite Link Budget Calculator?
