| Abstract: | Mobile satellite L-band signal that
propagates from the transmitting satellite to the receiver experiences
impairment mainly due to shadowing and multipath effects. In the present study,
open space data has been obtained for Fukuoka,
Japan
(mid-latitude) using portable global positioning system (GPS) satellite
receiver. The received signal performance, fading characteristic and cumulative
distribution function of certain GPS satellites over the sky of Fukuoka have been
observed and analysed. A general mathematical model representing the signal
strength for the open space environment has been deduced based on the collected
data. The outcome of this study can be used in future research to determine the
effect of different mobile satellite environment on the arriving mobile
satellite signal in improving the quality of service perceived by mobile
satellite users. |
