i need help to develop a satellite communication simulator using MATLAb,

To develop a software which can simulate a satellite in the orbit if possible and calculate the satellite link parameters.
It may shows a satellite which travel over the globe and calculate the travelled distance and the time taken to a given coordinate of a location on the globe. I must also be able to do a simple satellite uplink and downlink analysis. The expected outcome is an independent software of a simulator with a nice GUI.

i hav done a good research in it, i knw wat r the equations n formulas i need to embed in it ,

now my problem is how to start it to develop it with matlab, i need some one to giv me the steps or an idea or an example , dis will be a great help , this is my project n i really wanna do it, i just need the start then on i will write my own code

Out of curiosity: will you be including relativistic corrections in your
software? Geosynchronous satellites _do_ travel quickly enough for it to make
a difference; see, e.g., a discussion of this with respect to GPS.

Hello King

I’ve seen your message in the Forum. I’m interested in helping you with satellite communication simulator.

I’m a programmer and developer of applications in Matlab with more than 5 years of experience and I offer my services in:
Development projects and work on issues of science and engineering (mechanical, hydraulic systems, civil, industrial, environmental, chemical, electrical, electronics, physics, mathematics, statistics ...) using programming software and graphical display as Matlab.
I teach courses, seminars, trainings, workshops and virtual programming and graphic display of Matlab, the courses are mainly oriented to signal and image processing, numerical methods, statistics and general data processing, development and automation of processes and systems through implementing various types of models.
Besides providing advice and assistance in developing all kinds of university-level technical and scientific environmental and physical sciences, mathematics and statistics related to Matlab (implementation of functions, encryption code, programs, script, GUI, executables, ...) .
The service costs are negotiable, 50% at the beginning and 50% to finish the job.

i have the equations like to calculate the speed, energy, velocity= distance between the given co ordinate / time, and then the equations for uplink n downlink analysis,these are te basic equation used in satellite com. the losses will be defined already it will not change , i will b using these equations to embed to the software,
its not very important to for the satellite to orbit, the main thing i need is that it should calculate the link parameters,
its basically something like a window showing the world map with longitude n latitude co ordinates, if the user inputs the co ordinates frm wer to wer the satellite should travel , the software should find the time, speed velocity n uplink n down link analysis
i hav posted the link below which has a similar image named "Simulating Satellital Orbits" i atleast need n output like that showing the speed , time n keyed in datas

i hav used MATLAb for my assignment like digital signal processing, n to abtain signal in analog digital communication, but i hav never thought developing a software (simulator) with matlab, and my experience with GUI on matlab is zero for now.
i need some example or some hints how to develop the software initially then i believe i can go on, its my final year project n i want to understand it n i am separately seeking some help
