The aim of this paper is to present recent developments in terms of propagation time‐series synthesizers, carried out in the framework of the ESA study 16865/03/NL/EC ‘Development of propagation models for telecommunication satellite systems’ ( ONERA Final Report RF 4/07757/DEMR , 2004). The paper is composed of three parts: a review of the initial requirements related to propagation time series for system performance simulation, a description of a collection of rain attenuation time‐series synthesizers and of their related input parameters, and a comparative analysis of the output characteristics of these time‐series synthesizers as compared with experimental data collected during the OLYMPUS and ITALSAT propagation experiments.
