Title: Improvement of Tropospheric Propagation Instantaneous and Statistical Models for Earth-Space Paths Abstract: This technical note describes CNES internal research activities on tropospheric propagation instantaneous and statistical models for Earth-Space paths between 1 and 350 GHz. It deals with oxygen, water vapour and cloud attenuation. Contact: Xavier.Boulanger@cnes.fr |

ONERA | Presentation |
Title: Ka-band Propagation Experiment in French Guiana Abstract: This study has been conducted by ONERA in the framework of the CNES R&T programs and sponsored by the French Guiana local authorities. The objective of this study was to set up a 3-years Ka-band tropospheric propagation experiment in French Guiana. The availability of the valid data is higher than 99.6% which ranks this experiment among the best within the propagation community. Contact: Laurent.castanet@onera.fr, Xavier.Boulanger@cnes.fr |

Title: Synthesis of attenuation time series for non-GEO satellite paths Abstract: This study has been conducted by ONERA in the framework of a technical support for CNES. The objective was to adapt the current Recommendation ITU-R P.1853 (Time series synthesis of tropospheric impairments) in the case of non-GEO Earth-Space paths.
