| Abstract: | The land mobile satellite (LMS) propagation channel is frequently described using statistical models. These models usually make different assumptions regarding the behavior of the direct signal, the diffuse multipath component and the shadowing effects. This paper analyzes the theoretical formulation and implementation of time‐series synthesizers based on three typical statistical models: Loo, Corazza–Vatalaro and Suzuki, describing their similarities and differences. The discussion is not limited to the amplitude of the complex envelope but also to the phase variations and Doppler spectra. Finally, guidelines are also provided for comparing model parameters supplied by different authors. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
