Performance Analysis of ACM System Used by Earth Observation Satellite

In this paper, we address the performance analysis problem over adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) used by earth observation satellite. Unlike formal works built at the analysis of short time sequence and single evaluation index, we propose an analytical framework consist of serval indexes based on annual statistics to evaluate the ACM system comprehensively. Space time-varying channel model is built, especially rain fading model, in order to analyze the performance factually. The effect of two important factors, granularity of rate and high order modulation, is analyzed through annual statistic result, which builds the relationship between system parameter and the whole system performance. The ability of ACM system to deal with rain fade is also discussed and how it works in rain fade scenario.
