This paper analyzes and compares the datasets from two land mobile satellite measurement campaigns. One campaign provided data for 17.6 GHz where a transmitter was carried in an aircraft at a link distance of 10 km. In the second campaign the 11.7 GHz beacon signal of the Hotbird satellite (13° E) was measured with a mobile van. Various scenarios have been investigated: rural, urban, suburban, and overhead power lines. In both campaigns the very same routes have been considered. The main focus of the paper are second-order statistics of the narrowband channel as the level crossing rate and the average fade duration, as well as wideband parameters: delay spread, mean excess delay, maximum delay, total received power, and peak power.
