Abstract
A simple deterministic model is proposed to represent in a realistic way the time evolution of nocturnal refractive layers in the lower troposphere. It enables simulations of the multipath fading effects induced on both microwave terrestrial links and low-elevation satellite paths. It offers an efficient means for characterising the transmission channel and predicting the error performances of radio communication systems under tropospheric multipath conditions.
