Propagation experiment in the littoral at 94 GHz

Propagation above the sea surface depends on many parameters related to the meteorological and oceanographic conditions, the measurement geometry and the system parameters. In this contribution we report on an experiment performed at the Gulf of Mexico in 2012. A dataset consisting of measurements from a 94 GHz radar system above the sea surface towards a fixed corner reflector was established in the frame of the SMARTEX campaign together with the oceanographic and meteorological characterization. In this contribution we show a subset of the measurement results obtained in comparison with some modelling examples.
