<strong>and</strong> where the beam center is in the direction <strong>of</strong> the satellite. The factor <strong>of</strong> 1.5 (as<br />

opposed to 2) is used since a significant portion <strong>of</strong> the multipath energy comes from the<br />

region between the true specular reflection point <strong>and</strong> the horizon.<br />

Step 3: Obtain the Fresnel reflection coefficient R ij (in dB) where i represents the<br />

polarization <strong>of</strong> the incident wave <strong>and</strong> j is the polarization <strong>of</strong> the reflected wave. These<br />

reflection coefficients are tabulated <strong>for</strong> the sea at 1.5 GHz in Table 12-4 <strong>for</strong> horizontal<br />

polarization R HH , vertical polarization R VV , <strong>and</strong> circular polarization R CC .<br />
