Computational Tool for Rain Attenuation and Gaseous Absorption in Geostationary Satellite Links

This paper presents a computational tool for the calculation of gaseous absorption and rain attenuation in satellite communication systems with a geostationary orbit (GEO). Th software designed, planned, and implemented is based on MVC architecture that separates the code of the stages obtaining a clear and efficient structure. The software has a flow divided into three parts to process the algorithm (model, views, and controller). The software uses some forms to interact with the user and present the results of the computations in a friendly way. Additionally, to this, the program gives some files pdf to show the results and can be updated in its earth stations and satellites database.
