Abstract :
The lower spectral tail of the 60 GHz oxygen absorption band is characterised from the point-of-view of aircraft-to-satellite and aircraft-to-ground communications employing the atmospheric propagation model (APM). It is concluded that certain bands may sustain broadband line and some frequencies can be used for topside air traffic control and navigation.
