Abstract
This paper focuses on the propagation characterization of satellite communication systems in non-geostationary orbits at 900-2100MHz. An overview of available statistical propagation models for the mobile satellite communications channel is provided. Path loss equations for satellite communication systems in the range of 900-2100MHz for different environments and different probabilities of link closure are addressed. We also introduce a series of experiments being conducted to deepen understanding of these issues.
