Abstract:Statistical propagation models for the combined efect of ionospheric scintillation and terrestrial multipath are derived. These models are used to determine the satellite link performance of the Mobile User Objective System ( W O S ) under various operational conditions. The models are described byJirst order statistics in the form of probability density functions (PDFs) and cumulative distribution ficnctions (CDFs). The PDFs include combinations of Rayleigh, Rician and lognornial distribution functions. The c… Show more
