  • Abstract
    This paper reviews some experimental data collected over a three year period at Blacksburg, VA. Attenuation and Crosspolarization were measured on two 10.7 degree elevation angle paths to the SIRIO satellite, with a baseline separation between the two receiving sites of 7 km. Results for attenuation and crosspolarization at the two sites are presented, together with some limited data for joint performance of the two sites when used in a diversity mode.
