“…As the link budget must be carefully planned, relevant models for penetration loss are of great interest. In addition to direct measurements with a geostationary satellite [6], [7], helicopters [8]- [11], aircraft [12], airships [13], [14], crank-up towers, or cranes [12], [15], [16] can also be utilized as pseudo-satellites. Moreover, reference levels need to be obtained in different ways so that propagation conditions can be defined clearly.…”

An extensive measurement campaign, covering a representative set of typical buildings in an urban area and aimed at building penetration loss for satellite services at L-, S-and C-band, was performed in Prague in the summer of 2009. Throughout the measurements, a remote-controlled airship was used as a pseudosatellite carrying a transmitter which provided unmodulated continuous wave left-handed circularly polarized signals at 2.0 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 5.0 GHz, and 6.5 GHz. A description of the measurement campaign is provided here, together with a thorough analysis of the resulting experimental data. A significant dependence on elevation angle is reported for line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight propagation conditions separately. Subsequent steps to introduce elevation dependent empirical models at corresponding frequencies follow. Finally, a comparison to other studies dealing with building penetration loss for high elevation angles is presented.

“…For the pre-design of indoor seamless navigation, the analysis of field distribution and eclipse of indoor satellite navigation signal is helpful. The traditional way of propagation and eclipse analysis for L-Band satellite signal is usually based on measurement [3,4]. Measurements are correspondingly accurate and actual.…”

Satellite navigation has become the important means of navigation nowadays. However we can't receive navigation signal in the building well because of the extremely weak navigation signal near the earth surface, wall block of building, indoor multi-path effect and reflection of navigation signal. So the indoor navigation technique has become research focus in recent years. In this paper, we first presented a new method to analysis indoor propagation characteristics of satellite navigation signal based on parallel finite-difference timedomain (FDTD), and a novel time-domain excitation source of navigation signal was provided to simulate incidence wave under different elevation angle and position of navigation satellite. This method can present the indoor electromagnetic field value and distribution of navigation signal at anywhere and any time, and showed the real physical fields of wave propagation and eclipse clearly, instead of measurement which cost too much. The simulation results showed the validity of the presented method in this paper.

“…However, there is a lack of similar information and knowledge for the satellite to indoor channel. Some measurements are presented in [4] about satellite propagation into buildings in the U.S., carried out with a satellite emulator on a mobile tower. Another measurement campaign (in the context of Galileo) is reported in [5], where measurements are performed on different floors but limited to a single building.…”

The satellite to indoor propagation channel in L-and Sband is becoming of significant importance because future satellite broadcast and navigation systems (as e.g. S-DMB and Galileo) are aiming at optimum performance in all kind of environments, i.e. even in indoor scenarios. In the framework of the EU FP6 project MAESTRO, Fraunhofer IIS has carried out measurements of the satellite to indoor coverage for the geostationary Worldspace-Afristar satellite for different types of buildings in Athens and Erlangen. The satellite to indoor propagation channel depends on several parameters as building layout and materials. Wave propagation models are mandatory for analysing the various influences in detail. For the accurate simulation a ray-optical model which considers 3D building vector data has been implemented by AWE Communications.
