Abstract

Propagation analysis of the transmitting and receiving environment is important for designing satellite communication systems. The satellite signal passes though the atmospheric layer and is affected by the resulting attenuation. Therefore, systematic analyses of the atmospheric characteristics and the receiving environment are needed. This study examined the propagation characteristics of a geostationary satellite using the Ka band. The atmospheric characteristics of the Ka band were analyzed, and the urban environment was modeled. A range of receiving environments was analyzed. The results of this paper are expected to assist in the design of satellite mobile communication systems in the Ka-band.
