In recent years there has been a great interest in thedevelopment of high-altitude platforms, which are low cost strato-spheric aircraft carrying payloads tailored for a wide range of ap-plications in telecommunications and remote sensing. These plat-forms are capable of flying at altitudes ranging between 17 and 30Km, with a potential endurance of weeks to months, features thatmake them attractive for the provision of future personal commu-nication services. This paper deals with the theoretical derivationof a channel model for the communication link between the plat-form and terrestrial mobile users or stations. In particular, we ad-dress the problem of modeling the small-scale fading effects. It is shown that the particular geometry of the propagation scenarioleads to a specific model applicable to the stratospheric channel.
