The present article carries out a review of MIMO-based techniques that have been recently
proposed for satellite communications. Due to the plethora of MIMO interpretations in …

With the expanding demand for high data rates and extensive coverage, high throughput
satellite (HTS) communication systems are emerging as a key technology for future …

This Letter addresses the statistical modeling of dual-polarized MIMO-LMS fading channels.
In the absence of accurate experimental results, a statistical model for the characterization of …

In this paper, a 4-port multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna based on substrate integrated
gap wave guide (SIGW) is presented for down-link satellite applications. The proposed …

In this paper, we study the transmission of orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs)
over a shadowed Rician (SR) land mobile satellite (LMS) link. Specifically, we derive the …

As a complementary to terrestrial mobile communication systems, mobile satellite
communication system can fill the gaps that cannot be covered by terrestrial network, and …

This paper proposes new transmission schemes for the delivery of satellite services. In the
proposed scenarios, mobile terminals are allowed to forward the signal received from the …

This paper presents the novel application of polarized modulation (PMod) for increasing the
throughput in mobile satellite transmissions. One of the major drawbacks in mobile satellite …

This paper investigates a hybrid satelliteterrestrial cooperative relaying communications
network (HSTCN) under independent and non-identical shadowed Rician and Nakagami-m …

This paper presents the detailed design and the key system performance results of a
comprehensive laboratory demonstrator (testbed) for a hybrid satellite/terrestrial S-band …
