  • Page 9: Overview

    ASLE-L-100D reproduces link effects that occur as signals propagate though the atmosphere and space. These link effects include propagation delay, carrier Doppler shift, and path loss. The ASLE-L-100D reproduces those effects by generating time delay, magnitude attenuation, and DDS frequency shift.
