1st Course on Radiowave Propagation for Space Systems 28-29 November 2011 - ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk - The Netherlands

A European Space Agency workshop on radiowave propagation will take place from 30 November to 2 December 2011 

in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. 

Radio propagation is the study of the behaviour of radio waves when they are transmitted from one point to another on 

the Earth or into various parts of the atmosphere. Propagation is affected by the changes of water vapour in the 

troposphere and ionisation in the upper atmosphere. Understanding the effects of varying conditions has many 

practical applications, from choosing frequencies for international shortwave broadcasters, to designing reliable mobile

telephone systems, managing radio navigation and operating of radar systems. 

The workshop will offer a forum for recent research and development on atmospheric radio channel modelling for 

mobile and fixed terminal satellite communication systems, satellite navigation systems, data downlink for Earth 

observation and space exploration systems, and radio science experiments.
