ReceivedSignal • Weighted (giT(t)) sum ofcopiesof the transmittedsignal. • Each copy ischaracterizedwith a differentdelay(Ƭi). • IonosphericChannelModel • Ray-tracingalgorithmwithWatterson’s model • Doppler Spread and Doppler ShiftEvaluation The tapgainfunctionismodeledas a Gaussianprocessaccoridngto the ITU–R F.1487 Doppler Spread Isprovidedby the σ oftapgainspectrum
Delay Spread Evaluation The presenceofmultipathproduces a signaldispersion in the time domain TimeDispersion or Delay Spread Differencebetween the maximum and minimum propagationdelayassociatedto the multipathcomponents. Ray Tracing Algorithm • Assumptions • Group pathis a indipendentvariable. • 3D stratifiedionosphere.
Results 1° Scenario: Rome-Pireo Link Input Parameters Simulation Steps: Evaluationof the Frequency and elevation angle pairrefersto the MUF90% (the SIRM modelhasbeenused).
Results 1° Scenario: Rome-Pireo Link Computationof the minimum (βmin) and the maximum (βmax) elevation angle @MUF90% Applicationof the ray-tracingalgorithmtoelevationvaluesobtainedby the samplingof the antenna aperture (samplingstepsizeis 0.05°). Extractionof the elevationangles (Δβ) relatedto the allpathsthatfallinto 100m around the receiver. Applicationof the ray-tracingalgorithmtoelevationintervalΔβ. A samplingstepsizeof 0.0001° hasbeenassumed.
