ABSTRACT

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology is widely applied in terrestrial wireless communication system, which greatly increases the system capacity. Satellite communication system has many advantages such as wide coverage and strong flexibility. Therefore, how to make a better use of MIMO technology in satellite communication system has become a research hotspot in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to analysis the relationship between satellite MIMO system capacity and parameters of terrestrial antenna such as angle and distance. The parameters of terrestrial antenna were derived and calculated to keep a higher capacity for satellite MIMO system. Numerical analysis of system capacity performance before and after optimization was obtained, which proved the correctness of the theory proposed in this paper.
