Abstract

The ever growing demand for higher data rates in satellite based services along with the congestion of the lower part of the frequency spectrum has led to the migration of new services to higher bands, such as the Ka-, Q/V bands. However, propagation in these bands is more prone to the atmospheric impairments; thus, the effects of the various atmospheric phenomena need to be accurately modeled and quantified in order to allow for efficient and reliable system design. To this end, a new propagation campaign consortium has been established across Europe (UK, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Greece) to conduct measurements in the Ka- and Q- bands using Alphasat's beacons. This shall allow the validation and enhancement of existing propagation models and support the development of Fading Mitigation Techniques. The objective of this paper is to present the new propagation campaign giving details for the various experimental sites.

ALPHASAT TDP5对欧洲Ka/Q波段大气通道的大规模评估:一种新的传播运动

基于卫星的业务对更高数据速率的需求不断增长，加上频谱较低部分的拥塞，导致新业务向更高频段迁移，如Ka-， Q/V频段。然而，这些波段的传播更容易受到大气的干扰;因此，需要精确地模拟和量化各种大气现象的影响，以便进行有效和可靠的系统设计。为此，在整个欧洲(英国、西班牙、葡萄牙、比利时和希腊)建立了一个新的传播活动联盟，使用Alphasat的信标在Ka-和Q-波段进行测量。这将允许验证和增强现有的传播模型，并支持衰落减缓技术的发展。本文的目的是介绍新的繁殖活动，并详细介绍了各个实验地点。
