Abstract
In modeling satellite links employing multiple polarizations, antenna orientation is typically assumed aligned or subsumed into abstract representations of the physical channel and cross-polarization parameters [1]. This approach does not allow for studying effects of antenna orientation and link geometry. Instead, a full 3D channel model is required.
In this work, we outline our 3D polarimetric line-of-sight (LOS) channel model [2,3], and investigate the combined effect of satellite link geometry, associated antenna orientation and Faraday rotation on the available link capacity. A related work is [4] that considered the inverse problem of Faraday estimation at Lband. As an application example here, we will use parameters typical of a low data rate maritime automatic identification system (AIS) VHF uplink to a low earth orbit microsatellite.
