A predictive analysis of the advantage of triple site diversity satellite systems (gamma distribution case)

A model for the prediction of triple site diversity performance based on the three-dimensional gamma distribution is proposed. The proposed method is based on the convective raincell model for the spatial structure of the rainfall medium. The model is oriented toward application to earth-space paths located in Japan and other locations with similar climatic conditions. Numerical results are compared with a limited set of available experimental data, and some conclusions are given
