| Summary: | Time diversity (TD) has recently attracted attention as a promising and cost-efficient solution
for high-frequency broadcast satellite applications. The present work proposes a general
prediction model for the application of TD by approximating the time dynamics of rain attenuation
through the use of the joint lognormal distribution. The proposed method is tested against experimental
data and its performance is investigated with respect to the basic parameters of a satellite link. |
