An efficient deterministic simulation model for land mobile satellite channels

A new stochastic model for land mobile satellite channels is presented. From the analytical reference model, an efficient deterministic computer simulation model is derived by replacing all coloured Gaussian noise processes by finite sums of weighted sinusoids with equally distributed phases. A numerical optimization procedure has been applied in order to adapt the statistics of our proposed analytical model to an equivalent real-world land mobile satellite channel for light and heavy shadowing environments. Various theoretical and simulation results show that both models, analytical and simulation, have an excellent performance
