Fade characteristics for K-band land-mobile satellite channels in Tokyo measured using COMETS

摘要

The K-band fade statistics in Tokyo were measured using an antenna (beamwidth of 19.5/spl deg/ in elevation and 6.5/spl deg/ in azimuth) at elevations ranging from 37 to 80/spl deg/. The results show that line-of sight communication is possible only /spl sim/33% of the distance at elevations >50/spl deg/, But it is 98% at 80/spl deg/.
