Abstract

This paper addresses the design and implementation of compensation of rain attenuation for Ka-band satellite communication system complied with DVB-RCS[2]. A structure of rain fade compensation scheme in the Ka-band satellite communication system is presented. Rain fade compensation scheme in this paper is mainly applied into return-link, which is the path through which user terminal transmit the data tn hub system providing a service. Symbol rate and code rate of channel code are used as variable transmission parameter for rain fade compensation. For estimation of channel environment, SNR of the user terminal which is measured by demodulator of hub system is used. Rain fade compensation scheme in the paper changes the symbol rate and/or code rate according to the measured SNR so that it can compensate the attenuation of the signal.
