The special property of this approach is that it does not convolve the spatial fluctuations with the movement of the satellite. The geometrical component of the phase difference between antennas is accurately removed by adjusting the satellite position using the measured phases. As expected, the phase of VHF signals is much more affected by scintillation than the UHF phase. In the example given, the spatial correlation over 130 m falls to zero at VHF and 0.55 at UHF. Correlations over longer distances have been determined using a novel dasiaphase reconstructionpsila technique. In the absence of scintillation the decorrelation distance is ~10 km for both frequencies. With increasing scintillation, the decorrelation distance decreases to around 100 m at VHF and 300 m at UHF.","PeriodicalId":273612,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd European Conference on Antennas and Propagation","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124546439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this situation, the mobile terminals frequently remain static while being used. In static usage, the mobile terminal itself doesn't move, but the environment around it changes, due to the movement of people for example. In order to evaluate the QoS of such mobile terminals, a channel model that can take account of stationary usage is required.
