Abstract :
In this article, we have reported experimental studies of signal strength as a function of vehicle separation for outdoor vehicle-to-vehicle propagation at 5.9 GHz. Statistical measurement campaigns were conducted in highway and rural driving environments. These measurements were used to obtain parameters for a dual-slope log-normal propagation model. The effects of antenna pattern variations for passing vehicles were also discussed.
