Abstract
Margin and availability are routinely used in transponded satellite communications (SATCOM) to specify required reliability. The objective of this paper is to provide a thorough treatment of these two metrics. Drawing from both literature and experience, it collects a set of validated techniques into a concise package. It focusses on methods that are easily applied and widely used. The paper also offers new insights.
