Consolidation of a multi-state narrowband land mobile satellite channel model

Abstract

This paper presents an enhanced version of an existing LMS (land mobile satellite) narrowband propagation model. The basics of the existing model are first discussed. L- and S-band experimental data from several environments and elevation angles have been processed for parameter extraction. Finally, a software simulator has been developed for generating synthetic time-series. Measurement and simulation examples are presented. (6 pages)
