✦ Synopsis
This paper describes an analytical derivation of the performance impairment of a non-coherent FSK signal and a coherent PSK signal due to fading caused by weather conditions at Ka band. Analytical results on the effect of signal phase variation on a coherent PSK signal are included. Numerical values in terms of probability of bit error are given for the two digital signals. These results should be useful to a system designer of satellite communications systems at Ka band.
