Instantaneous diversity gain in 10-30 GHz satellite systemsAs usually defined, diversity gain is a statistical measure which conveys little or no information about the instantaneous behavior of site-diversity reception in a satellite communications system. A new quantity called instantaneous diversity gain is introduced and some measurements of it from an 11.6 GHz low-angle two-site downlink are presented. It is shown how instantaneous diversity gain is related to system reliability and some results are presented which indicate that designs based on statistical diversity gain will achieve their intended reliability levels.
