This library uses many of the ideas and equations from; "Link Performance Analysis for a Proposed Future Architecture of the Air Force Satellite Control Network" by Eric W. Nelson, USAF
-
Just like Cpt. Nelson I also referenced; "DSN Telecommunications Link Design Handbook" 810-005 rev. E
-
I have also used; "Electromagnetic Waves and Antennas" by Sophocles J. Orfanidis
-
Noise figure calculations and antenna effective aperature were taken from the source code of "Virgo: A Versatile Spectrometer for Radio Astronomy" by Apostolos Spanakis-Misirlis, Cameron L. Van Eck and E.p. Boven

"Antenna Models For Electromagnetic Compatability Analyses" NTIA TM-12-489, C.W Wang Ph.D., T. Keech, Ph.D.
