Abstract. This paper presents description for models of tropospheric and ionospheric satellite communication channels. These models deals with radio wave signal propagation effects in atmosphere including refraction, Doppler frequency shift and time delay.

Key words: ionosphere, troposphere, refraction, time delay.
