  • Abstract
    At frequencies above 10 GHz, some communications satellite systems may have to utilise site diversity techniques in order to meet their performance and availability criteria. Present models of site diversity performance require propagation data to predict the achievable diversity gain. In the novel method proposed in this letter, only meteorological data are required.
