Semi-Empirical Model for Satellite Signal Reception Using Total Electron Content and Scintillation Impairments at Low Latitude Region

Mobile satellite system has become an important communication system to human beings since it provides reliable and continuous communication service over wide coverage. It operates in many frequency bands such as L-band frequency. However, the received signal performance is affected by the ionospher...

It operates in many frequency bands such as L-band frequency. However, the received signal performance is affected by the ionosphere particularly in the low latitude region. Significant research works have been done to characterize and model the satellite signal reception using the ionosphere parameters such as Total Electron Contents (TEC) and amplitude scintillation index (S4).
