Stochastic properties of radio communication channels containing spherical Gaussian surfaces
Abstract
With reference to spacecraft communication, the paper examines the effect of radio wave scattering at a statistically rough surface (the midsurface coincides with a sphere) on the characteristics of a radio channel. The statistical characteristics of the orthogonal components of the radio signal at the receiver are calculated with consideration of shading. Amplitude and phase distributions of the sum signal are determined under the assumption of a Gaussian distribution of the quadrature components of the scattered signal.
