Abstract

The paper presents the results from signal attenuation due to trees, and radar interference testing conducted on the multichannel multipoint distribution service (MMDS), in operation at Virginia Beach, VA. The test data collected provides valuable information on the effects of attenuation caused by the foliage of trees common to the area, and interference from an aviation radar system
