A novel model for the outage probability prediction in time diversity satellite communication (SatCom) systems operating above 10GHz is proposed. Due to the migration of operating frequency at Ka band and above, atmospheric phenomena afiect the signal. Rain is the dominant fading mechanism. Diversity techniques are the probable solution of the compensation of rain fading. Among the diversity techniques, time diversity has been identifled as an e-cient and cost efiective technique. A method for the prediction of outage performance and diversity gain of time diversity SatCom systems is presented based on the physical assumptions of a well accepted dynamic stochastic model. The new method is tested against with simulated and experimental data with encouraging results.
