Radio Wave Propagation and Channel Modeling for Earth-Space SystemsAuthor(s): Athanasios G. Kanatas, Athanasios D. Panagopoulos\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367574802, 978-0367574802\nSynopsis\nThe accurate design of earthspace systems requires a comprehensive understanding of the various propagation media and phenomena that differ depending on frequencies and types of applications. The choice of the relevant channel models is crucial in the design process and constitutes a key step in performance evaluation and testing of earthspace systems. The subject of this book is built around the two characteristic cases of satellite systems: fixed satellites and mobile satellite systems.\n\nRadio Wave Propagation and Channel Modeling for EarthSpace Systems discusses the state of the art in channel modeling and characterization of next-generation fixed multiple-antennas and mobile satellite systems, as well as propaga.
