| Abstract | The effects of high-rise buildings on satellite propagation in the vicinity of urban canyons are investigated. A comparison between a conventional canyon model and the two modified canyon models, which take into account the presence of high-rise buildings, is presented for both narrow-band and wideband signal cases. The narrow band is developed using ray tracing (RT) and includes the direct wave, the specular reflection from building walls and ground, and the diffracted waves. In addition, multiple shadow boundaries are defined and used to carry out the uniform theory of diffraction calculations. The incident shadow boundary is the dominant boundary and is used to determine the line-of-sight region for all cases, while wall and ground reflection shadow boundaries are used to obtain higher precision due to multiple reflections. The wideband model is developed by applying a channel transfer function to the data obtained from the RT method. The proposed models are used to predict the received signal in a realistic urban environment from satellites. The models are applicable to any satellite link application, such as global navigation satellite systems, low Earth-orbiting, and high-altitude platform systems, and the results are obtained for a satellite transmitting two linearly polarized signals at a frequency of 1.625 GHz. It is found that the presence of high-rise buildings next to a street canyon can significantly alter the visibility of satellites, which, in turn, lead to an increase in path loss. Consequently, ignoring high-rise buildings in the proximity of a street canyon can lead to a path loss difference of as much as 30 dB. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
