Abstract

The effect of block, convolutional and Turbo coding on the probability of error and the capacity are investigated for CDMA Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite systems. The model employed assumes a contaminated Gaussian traffic model to be more compatible with different population areas. The conventional Gaussian distribution can be considered as a special case.
