Abstract :
In this paper an analysis on the use of Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) techniques for EHF satellite communications is presented. In particular, our analysis is focused on W-band channels and includes the main channel impairments in this frequency band, i.e. rain fading and HPA non-linearity. The aim of the analysis is to identify modifications to the ACM mode switching algorithm to optimize their use at those high frequency bands.
