A satellite communication system includes a communication terminal and a ground station. The ground station is configured to communicate with the communication terminal through a satellite communication path between the ground station and the communication terminal via a satellite. The ground station includes a diversity switch and an electronic controller. The diversity switch is configured to switch the satellite communication path from a first satellite communication path to a second satellite communication path different from the first satellite communication path. The electronic controller is configured to transmit an offset value of network parameters of the first and second satellite communication paths to the communication terminal through the second satellite communication path. The communication terminal is configured to update a propagation parameter for communication with the ground station based on the offset value in response to receiving the offset value through the second satellite communication path.
