heal.abstract	Satellite communication networks play an important role in the ""digital divide"" problem, by offering broadband services everywhere in the world. The ever increasing demand for multimedia services has led to the use of Ku, Ka and V band in modern satellite communication networks. In these frequency bands, rain attenuation is the most dominant propagation fading mechanism. Moreover, interference due to propagation phenomena deteriorates the performance of the satellite links and should be taken into account for the reliable design of satellite communication networks. In this paper, an analytical physical mathematical propagation model is presented for the prediction of channel capacity statistics of a dual-polarized interfered broadband satellite link. Rain attenuation spatial inhomogeneity is incorporated in the analysis with the employment of correlated slant paths. The obtained numerical results show the significance of these effects to channel capacity estimation. Finally, the proposed model may be used towards the optimum utilization of the satellite channel capacity by means of adaptive fade mitigation schemes. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2007.	en
