Abstract

This paper presents wideband characteristics of a low elevation, land mobile, single satellite, dual circularly polarized, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radio propagation channel. The work is based on S-band measurements using an artificial platform to represent the satellite, situated on a hilltop, to a mobile vehicle located in three environments: tree-lined road, suburban and urban. First and second order statistics and inter-tap cross-correlations are derived for both large and small scale fading, over the delay and combined spatial/polarization domains from the measured 2times2 MIMO matrix channel data. The work is aimed towards further development of a valid wideband land mobile satellite (LMS) MIMO channel model. Such systems may form the next generation of satellite delivered mobile broadband Internet services.
