Special issue on 'Channel modelling and propagation impairment simulation activities within the SatNEx project'

SatNEx aims to rectify the fragmentation in satellite communications research by bringing together Europe’s leading academic institutions and research organisations in a cohesive and durable way. The resultant pan-European network provides a collective grouping of expertise and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities that would otherwise remain dispersed throughout Europe. This special issue provides results of the propagation and channel modelling activities. Copyright r 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
