Abstract :
Analysis of measurement data from intersections that exhibit the corner effect in the San Francisco financial district yields their empirical properties. For low rates of change of the average signal strength, i.e., less than 0.3 dB/ft, the rate and extent appear to be related. For higher rates of change, the extent of the change is around 9 ± 4 dB.
