Abstract

In this paper, a statistical model for the land mobile satellite (LMS) channel is presented. The model is capable of describing both narrow- and wide-band conditions. The other relevant characteristic is that it can be used to study links with geostationary as well as nongeostationary satellites. The model is of the generative type, i.e., it is capable of producing time series of a large number of signal features: amplitudes, phases, instantaneous power-delay profiles, Doppler spectra, etc. Model parameters extracted from a comprehensive experimental data bank are also provided for a number of environments and elevation angles at L-, S-, and Ka-bands
