In this letter, the probability of error performance improvements by rain fade countermeasure techniques is analyzed in a Ka-band geostationary satellite communication system using synchronous CDMA scheme, when power control and macrodiversity are used as rain fade countermeasures. Numerical results show that the composite power control plus macroscopic selection diversity system is better than that of utilizing only one technique as a countermeasure of rain fading.

To meet the needs of various consumers and reuse of digital broadcasting programs, it is necessary to re-transmit the digital broadcasting program produced by a variety of digital broadcasting standards over the different digital broadcasting systems. Especially, some channels in digital terrestrial broadcasting must be re-transmitted through the digital cable broadcasting in Korean digital broadcasting environment. In this paper, we present two possible methods for re-transmission from the digital terrestrial broadcasting to digital cable broadcasting, and propose a real-time re-transmission system.

This paper briefly introduces the T-DMB standard based on Eureka-147 DAB and presents a new T-DMB transmission system, which uses a device called the Ensemble Remultiplexer, for mobile multimedia broadcasting service. And we verify the T-DMB standard by using the new transmission system with commercial equipment in the laboratory and in the field as moving on a car in high speed around urban districts surrounded by high buildings.
