Multiyear trans-horizon radio propagation measurements at 3.5 GHz:system design and measurement results over land and wetland paths in the Netherlands

The design, realization, and measurement results of a high-accuracy multiyear 3.5 GHz trans-horizon radio propagation measurement system are discussed, with both emphasis on the results and implemented technical measures to enhance the accuracy and overall reliability of the measurements. The propagation measurements have been performed on two different paths of 253 and 234 km length, using two transmitters and one receiver in the period September 2013 till November 2016. One of the paths travels over wetland; the other path can be considered as a land path. On each path, an additional transmi... Mehr ...
