  • Publication number: 20260135613
    Abstract: A method for optimizing satellite signal performance in a satellite transmission system. The method includes: obtaining signal data from at least some of the plurality of customer receivers, measuring the signal data from each of the signal beams that were obtained; analyzing metadata from the components of the satellite transmission system, signal source front end controls, and spectral sampling; identifying signal degradation at one or more individual customer receivers from the signal data of the actual spot beam coverage while monitoring signal parameters over the diverse geographical region using the measured signal data and the analyzed metadata; and predicting a remediation action to correct the signal degradation at the one or more individual customer receivers.

  • Patent number: 12597994
    Abstract: A method for optimizing satellite signal performance in a satellite transmission system. The method includes: obtaining signal trend data from at least some of the plurality of customer receivers; measuring the signal trend data from each of the signal beams that were obtained; analyzing metadata from the components of the satellite transmission system, signal source front end controls, and spectral sampling; identifying poorly trending signal parameters from the signal trend data of actual spot beam coverage using the signal trend data and the analyzed metadata, wherein the poorly trending signal parameters are defined as signals trending out of pre-determined specification limits; and predicting remediation actions to correct the poorly trending signal parameters, before the poorly trending signal parameters reach the pre-determined specification limits.
