Abstract
Measurements show the existence of large specular reflections from building surfaces of terrestrial microwave radio signals. The measured specular reflection is 20 to 30 dB higher than the diffusely scattered energy and is caused by reflection from a building illuminated by a sidelobe 17 dB below the boresight beam of the transmitter.
