Multipath Effect Analysis of Sea Surface in Maritime Satellite Communications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band is increasingly widely used in military maritime satellite communications due to its good communication performance. When the electromagnetic wave reaches the sea surface, it is reflected. The reflected wave and direct wave enter the receiver in the form of a superimposed vector, which will inevitably produces multipath fading at the receiving end. This paper followed the general principles of modeling in multipath effects, and the UHF band multipath effects of sea surface were studied. The judgment basis was obtained which determines whether the specula reflected wave dominates in the reflected wave based on Rayleigh criterion, and then the reflection coefficient of sea surface were calculated. Finally, the power attenuation of reflected wave relative to direct wave for different wind speeds were simulated and analyzed.
