The upcoming migration of satellite services to higher bands, namely, the Ka‐ and Q/V‐bands, offers many advantages in terms of bandwidth and system capacity. However, it poses challenges as propagation effects introduced by the various atmospheric phenomena are particularly pronounced in these bands and can become a serious constraint in terms of system reliability and performance. This paper presents the goals, organisation, and preliminary results of an ongoing large‐scale European coordinated propagation campaign using the Alphasat Aldo Paraboni Ka/Q band signal payload on satellite, performed by a wide scientific consortium in the framework of a European Space Agency (ESA) project. The main objective of this activity is the experimental characterisation of the spatial and temporal correlation over Europe of the radio channel at Ka and Q band for future modelling activities and to collect data for development and testing of fading mitigation techniques.

使用Alphasat Aldo Paraboni有效载荷评估整个欧洲的Ka / Q波段地球空间无线电信道的时空特性

即将到来的卫星服务向更高频段（即Ka和Q / V频段）的迁移在带宽和系统容量方面提供了许多优势。然而，由于由各种大气现象引入的传播效应在这些频带中尤为明显，并且在系统可靠性和性能方面可能成为严重的限制，因此带来了挑战。本文介绍了正在进行的大规模欧洲协调传播活动的目标，组织和初步结果，该活动使用卫星上的Alphasat Aldo Paraboni Ka / Q波段信号有效载荷，由一个广泛的科学联盟在欧洲航天局的框架下进行（ ESA）项目。
