<strong>Propagation</strong> <strong>Effects</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Vehicular</strong> <strong>and</strong> Personal Mobile Satellite Systems<br />

that are potentially visible (satellites above 10°) regardless <strong>of</strong> the state. For example (<strong>for</strong><br />

London) shows there is zero probability that only one satellite is visible <strong>for</strong> any <strong>of</strong> the<br />

states indicated. On the other h<strong>and</strong>, the probabilities are approximately 30%, 50%, <strong>and</strong><br />

20% that two, three, <strong>and</strong> four satellites are potentially visible, respectively. The joint<br />

probabilities that one, two, three, <strong>and</strong> four satellites are potentially visible <strong>and</strong> that they<br />

have clear states (i.e., CCCC) are approximately 0%, 10%, 5%, <strong>and</strong> 1%, respectively.<br />
