Abstract

This paper is aimed at characterization of multipath propagation in land mobile satellite scenarios. Of particular interest is the average multipath power coming from scattering of electromagnetic waves from rough building surface. Method of physical optics was implemented to model scattering from rough building facades. The results in terms of time series of the received power are used to obtain statistics of multipath power for various roughness parameters of the building faccedilade and various elevations and azimuths of the transmitter. The results obtained can be used to predict signal propagation in urban environments or as input data to time series generating models.
