# 🛰️ SATCOM Question-Answer Dataset
## Dataset Summary
**SATCOM-QA** is a **human-generated evaluation dataset** designed for testing LLM reasoning in Satellite Communications (SatCom).
It contains around 1,000 open-ended questions, of which about 30% involve mathematical or quantitative SatCom reasoning (e.g., link budget calculations, path loss, beamforming, SNR, orbital geometry).
The dataset is designed for evaluation purpose.
---
## Key Features
* **Human-written** questions & answers
* **Open-ended** free-form responses
* **Covers core SatCom/NTN domains**, including:
* Link Budget
* Propagation & Path Loss
* Frequency bands
* Beamforming & antennas
* Multi-layer NTNs (satellites, HAPS, UAVs)
* 6G integration
* Localization with NTNs
* 30% math-focused problems
* Includes **reference links** to the answers provided
* No synthetic content, no model-generated text
---
## Intended Use
* Benchmarking LLMs on **technical SatCom reasoning**
* Testing domain-specific expertise for
* NTN/6G research
* Satellite engineering
* Telecommunications academia/industry
* Evaluating mathematical reasoning in real-world SatCom tasks
---
## Data Structure
### Fields
* **question** *(string)*
* **answer** *(string, human-written)*
* **topic** *(string: e.g., Link Budget, Beamforming, NTNs, etc.)*
* **sources** *(list of URLs — academic references)*
