Abstract :
The results obtained from the experimental measurement of angles-of-arrival (AOA) and amplitudes of individual multipath rays on three separate microwave links are presented. An extensive data base has been established from the operation of a wide-aperture vertical array of receiving antennas. From these data, statistical distributions of the AOAs and amplitudes of the incoming rays are presented which appear to be consistent with the predictions of ray-tracing
