Abstract

Satellite communication systems operating at frequencies above 10 GHz are often subject to deep fades due to rain attenuation. One of the cost-effective countermeasures that can be used to counteract severe rain attenuation is time diversity. In this paper, performance of time diversity is investigated based on a one-year, Ku-band propagation measurement campaign carried out in heavy rain region. The results found show that the diversity gain increases as a function of time delay. The performance of time diversity is compared with prediction obtained by applying the Stratiform
