Abstract
The reliable design of a satellite communications network, operating at Ku band and above, requires the exact evaluation of the interference effects on the availability and performance of both the uplink and downlink. In this paper, the case of Uplink Adjacent Satellite Network Interference is examined. We accurately calculate the deterioration of the uplink clear sky nominal adjacent satellite network Carrier-to-Interference threshold, due to spatial inhomogeneity of the propagation medium. At these frequency bands, rain attenuation is the dominant fading mechanism. Here we present an analytical physical model for the calculation of Interference Statistical Distribution between adjacent Broadband Satellite Networks operating at distances up to 500 km. We employ the unconditional bivariate lognormal distribution for the correlated rain fading satellite channels. Useful numerical results are presented for satellite networks located in different climatic regions and with various quality of service (QoS) assumptions.
