5/15 GHZ Scattering Study

Abstract

Received signal level and multipath delay spread measurements were made at 5 and 16 GHz on a 161 km tropospheric scatter path over moderately rough terrain from Prospect Hill in Waltham, MA to Mt Tug in Lebanon, NH. The measurement campaign spanned the summer months of May through Aug 89. The signal level data were processed to obtain hourly median values for the estimation of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of received signal level for use in troposcatter communication system design. Multipath delay spread observations were made at the higher frequency. These data were also processed to obtain the sample cdf of the hourly median values of the two sigma multipath delay spread estimates.
