A Novel Channel Model for Land Mobile Satellite Navigation

Andreas Lehner and Alexander Steingass

Abstract:	In 2002 the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) performed a measurement campaign of the land mobile multipath channel. From this data we derived a channel model that is synthesising the measured channel impulse response. It allows the realistic simulation of the multipath channel by approximating every single reflection. This model includes time variant reflectors approaching and receding in dependency of the azimuth and elevation of the satellite. All the signal processing had been realised independently of the transmitted signal. Therefore the usability for both, navigation systems (GPS as well as GALILEO) and wideband communication systems is given.
