“…7 visualizes the resulting penetration loss as a function of azimuth angle. The nearly parabolic shape of the penetration loss simulation is similar to the output of the model described in [8] and corresponding measurements [27]. Unfortunately, a direct comparison between the proposed model and the measurement results displayed in Fig.…”

“…7 cannot be performed as the references do not reveal the exact geometric relations. However, the measurements, the model in [8], and the simulations all provide a similar shape for the penetration loss when plotted as a function of the satellite's azimuth angle.…”

“…The solid curve, denoted as "Model", shows simulation results of the penetration loss as a function of with a fixed receiver position and a fixed transmitter elevation angle of 30 . The dashed curves represent measurements described in [8], [27] at S-band with a fixed transmitter elevation angle of 30 and varying azimuth angle with respect to the building normal for the Vienna Millennium Tower on the 22nd floor (MT22), the 44th floor (MT44) and in a conference room at Graz Airport (GAC). The corresponding model described in [8] for the GAC is displayed as the solid curve.…”

Advances in satellite and receiver technology make former denied areas like indoors accessible for satellite based radio services. As a consequence, suitable penetration loss models are of significant importance for service availability planning. Standard penetration loss models ignore the building layout in relation to the transmitter-receiver geometry. Within this paper, we introduce the term entry loss as a measure for the additional loss of a wideband impulse received at the geometrical line-of-sight path delay caused by the building materials. Knowing the received power caused by indoor multipath propagation, the penetration loss and the entry loss are deterministically related. As a contribution, we propose an entry loss model which is able to include the geometrical relation of walls, receiver and transmitter positions. Within the model, we treat walls, windows and doors as apertures and, therefore, as sources for signal penetration and diffraction. A verification of the model using wideband channel sounder measurement data is performed. By simulations, we show the comparability between existing models and the proposed one. Moreover, a short description on the usage of the proposed entry loss model for wideband channel simulations is provided.

SUMMARYSatNEx 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.

In this paper, the problem of characterizing and simulating indoor Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals is addressed. A detailed methodology for characterizing the temporal/spatial behavior of indoor GNSS signal amplitude is first presented. The proposed methodology is then used to extract the signal amplitude and its empirical Probability Density Function is compared against several standard distributions. From the analysis, it emerges that the slow and fast fading components affecting received GNSS signals need to be modeled separately. In this respect, a composite Rice/Log‐Normal model able to effectively capture the behavior of the indoor signal amplitude is considered. Several experiments have been conducted and the validity of the composite model has been validated against measurements.It is shown that the spectra of the slow and fast fading components can be effectively modeled using a fourth order low‐pass Butterworth filter. A simulation scheme is finally suggested for the generation of indoor GNSS signals. Copyright © 2012 Institute of Navigation.
