Open Space Experimental Work for L-Band Mobile Satellite (MS) using a Simple and Low Cost Data Acquisition System

Mobile satellite (MS) signal performance is affected by many factors such as ionospheric effect, multipath fading and shadowing effect. Satellites transmit signals at the same strength, but things like trees and buildings can obscure a signal beyond recognition. Some experimental works have been...
