Abstract
A statistical model for a land mobile satellite link is described. The model assumes that the amplitude of the line-of-sight component under foliage attenuation (shadowing) is lognormally distributed and the received multipath interference has a Rayleigh distribution. Expressions for the level crossing rate and average fade duration are given. Comparison between results calculated from the model and from measurements show reasonably good agreement. The model should be useful for designing communications systems and for simulating propagation effects in the laboratory.Keywords
