Everything about Site Diversity totally explained
Site diversity is a technique to limit the effect of
rain fade in
satellite communications, mainly in the
Ka band. The
downlink transmissions of
satellites cover very large areas, that will have different weather. The site
diversity technique consists of linking two or more ground stations receiving
the same signal: this way, if the signal is heavily attenuated in one area,
another ground stations can compensate it. These intense rain areas often
have a horizontal length of no more than a few kilometres: putting the
ground stations at a sufficient distance the possibility of rain fade in the
downlink signal will be reduced.
The configuration works when the attenuation isn't as great as the two
stations simultaneously as it's at one of them, and this is usually a valid
assumption.
Site diversity systems have been known to minimize disruption of service by major satellite carriers.
