Abstract :
This paper is concerned with characterizing the link between an airplane and a satellite. Attention is focused on the effect of indirect paths scattered from the surface of the earth. Applicable propagation-theoretic and system function-theoretic work is reviewed and integrated. Some new and some known expressions for channel correlation functions are presented for the "steepest descent" channel model.
