Abstract
Improving the bit error rate (BER) performance at low elevation angles is a crucial determining factor for the capacity of any low earth orbit (LEO) s atellite system. In previous work, it has been demonstrated that the BER pe rformance of a DS/CDMA-based equatorial LEO satellite system on a downlink can be improved significantly by using satellite diversity. The authors add ress the issue of improving BER at low elevation angles by using turbo code s.
