Abstract :
This paper describes the results of a mobile Ka-band experimental campaign carried out in different tree-shadowed environments. Given the narrow antenna beamwidth used only shadowing effects were measured. Statistical results are presented in the form of cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) and link margins
