water <strong>and</strong> the elevation angle <strong>and</strong> antenna beamwidths are such that rays within the main<br />
beam may reflect from the water <strong>and</strong> are not obstructed by the vehicle. This scenario at<br />
the 1% probability level gave fades at 20 GHz which ranged from 8 dB to 14 dB (Figure<br />
4-5).<br />
The EMM is representative <strong>of</strong> the median <strong>of</strong> 12 measured distributions<br />
encompassing the above described scenarios <strong>and</strong> falls within ±1.5 dB <strong>of</strong> the measured<br />
distributions at 2% probability <strong>and</strong> greater. At 10% <strong>and</strong> greater, the model values fall<br />
within ±1 dB. The engineer may conveniently employ this single exponential expression<br />
with the caveat that it is in agreement with the measured distributions to within the stated<br />
dB variations.<br />
