Channel modeling and simulation for mobile user objective system (MUOS)--part 1: flat scintillation and fading

Performance of the mobile user objective system is dominated by the channel conditions characterized by ionospheric scintillation and multipath fading. Detail analytical channel modeling is provided, with the emphasis on narrowband waveforms in part I of this paper. Efficient computer simulation techniques for these flat fading channel impairment have also been presented.
