Abstract
The work presented here aims at a detailed understanding of propagation impairments likely to be encountered on a given path, which is one of the factors needed in transmission link design to provide satellite service at the quality customers demand. The author discusses the background to INTELSAT´s need for propagation information, describes the focus of recent INTELSAT Ku- and Ka-band measurements, and provides some of the results and conclusions of these measurements
