Abstract
In this letter, the probability of error performance improvements by rain f ade countermeasure techniques is analyzed in a Ka-band geostationary satell ite communication system using synchronous CDMA scheme, when power control and macrodiversity are used as rain fade countermeasures. Numerical results show that the composite power control plus macroscopic selection diversity system is better than that of utilizing only one technique as a countermea sure of rain fading.
