Abstract :
Fade statistics were measured along 4095 km of expressways using a 12 dBi gain antenna with an automatic tracking system. The results show that the line-of-sight statistics, which were available for more than 90% of total distance, can be described by a Rician distribution with Rician factors of 15 to 25 dB
