摘要
A general evaluation method for coverage performance of LEO constellations with different patterns and altitudes is proposed. The minimum elevation angle characteristics at different latitudes is transformed into the number of standard satellites with the same coverage performance, and the ratio with respect to the actual number of satellites in a constellation is define as the index of coverage performance. According to the evaluation method, the coverage indexes of four kinds of Walker-δ constellation including Iridium, Globalstar, Celestri and NeLS are computed, and the improved design method is brought forward.
