Techniques for the analysis of propagation effects on communications satellite performance
Abstract
A program which analyzes the propagation effects in communications satellites operating at high microwave frequencies is described. Propagation phenomena are reviewed and simplified models developed. A technique is developed for the determination of bit error rate in a system affected by multiple impairments. The system model and programming techniques are described and an application example is given.
