During the period 1983-1988, a series of Land Mobile Satellite Service (LMSS) propagation experiments were performed. These experiments were implemented with transmitters on stratospheric balloons, remotely piloted aircraft, helicopters, and geostationary satellites. The earlier experiments were performed at UHF (870 mega-Hz) and the latter at both L band (1.5 giga-Hz) and UHF. The general objective of the above tests was to assess the impairment to propagation caused by trees and terrain for predominantly suburban and rural regions where cellular communication services are impractical. This paper presents an overview of the results derived from the above experiments.
