Summary
This paper concentrates on channel modelling for mobile personal satellite systems. A single-environment channel model is introduced suitable to quasi-stationary flat-flat channels. The model is compared with results taken from the literature. Also a two-state generative channel model with parameters fitted from measurements is presented. Finally, the structure of a wideband channel model is proposed. In order to derive its parameters, DLR currently performs a measurement campaign for channel effects related to non-geostationary satellite systems. The programme comprises narrowband and wideband propagation measurements as well as interference measurements.
