Abstract

A propagation measurement campaign is being carried out in Brazil to provide long term cumulative distributions of single frequency multipath fading and statistics of the parameters of a two-ray multipath channel model (relative delay and notch depth). The correlation between fade events in consecutive hops in multihop links is also being investigated. Some of the results available are presented in this paper
