Abstract :
A simple yet accurate correlation model for shadow fading in land-mobile satellite systems, derived from L and S-band channel recordings, is proposed. The model has been developed for heavily wooded and suburban environments and covers elevation angles of 60-80°. It is demonstrated that in such environments the effective correlation distance of shadowing is in the order of a few tens of meters
