Abstract
Prior chapters have focused on descriptions of the propagation factors that can degrade satellite communications links. Gaseous attenuation, hydrometeor attenuation, depolarization, radio noise, scintillation, and other factors were described, and methods for predicting the effects on communications links were presented.
