Abstract: The nature of variations of L band satellite signal strength for direct reception -both in fixed as well as in mobile reception are important technical parameters for the planning of satellite broadcast and communication services network. These parameters have been assessed through a field experiment using simulated satellite conditions. Variation of signal strength due to vegetation; urban structures; etc. as well as the building penetration loss along with the Standard Deviation of each of these variations has been assessed based on the data collected during the fixed and mobile reception. This paper gives an insight into the propagation in ‘L’ band under the simulated satellite conditions.
