SUN TRANSITS IN GEO SATELLITE SYSTEMS IN THE ASPECT OF RADIO WAVES PROPAGATION

Abstract

The article includes description of process of Sun transits, including indispensable information on the parameters employed to show their impact on these phenomena. On this basis the date, the start time and the end time and the duration time of Sun transits could be presented for a given location. The main considerations are pertinent to propagation studies. The part of results connected with Sun transits for the limited frequencies of Ku band (downlink) in satellite systems, depending on the antennae, is presented in this article.
