Satellite transmissions have an important role in telephone communications, television
broadcasting, computer communications, maritime navigation, and military command and …

The design of Ka-band satellite fade countermeasure (FCM) systems is conditioned by the
detection/prediction algorithm to be included within practical DSP-based FCM controllers. It …

In this paper, we present a model for rainfall rate prediction 30 seconds ahead of time using
an artificial neural network. The resultant predicted rainfall rate can then be used in …

Several diversity reception schemes have been thoroughly investigated in the past to
mitigate rain fading in fixed/broadcast satellite communication systems operating above 10 …

A dual‐band element that operates with dual‐circular polarisation in two separate industrial,
scientific and medical bands is presented. The design that is based on concentric square …

The use of the Ka band (30/20 GHz) for satellite communication systems raises the problem
of dealing with rain attenuation. A very important problem in fade countermeasure systems is …

In satellite communications, the adverse propagation effects produced by the atmosphere to
the signal are compensated by the systems using propagation impairment mitigation …

We propose a model that describes the signal fading process due to scintillation in the
presence of rain. We analyzed a data set of uplink (30 GHz) and downlink (20 GHz) …

This paper describes a complete fade countermeasure system, designed for thin route user-
oriented and fully meshed satellite networks. The signal degradation due to the residual up …

Satellite communication systems are moving towards greater capacity. Millimeter wave
frequency offers a large bandwidth allocation, requires small antenna size and should not …
