Investigations from Different Countries 7-21<br />

Vaisnys <strong>and</strong> Vogel [1995] report on measurements conducted on December 15 <strong>and</strong> 16,<br />

1994 in Pasadena, Cali<strong>for</strong>nia. A CW tone at 2.05 GHz emanating from the geostationary<br />

Tracking <strong>and</strong> Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) satellite located at 171° West<br />

resulted in an elevation <strong>of</strong> angle <strong>of</strong> 21°. One <strong>of</strong> the runs was comprised <strong>of</strong> a 33 km round<br />

trip drive. It passed through a mixed environment consisting <strong>of</strong> buildings, trees, medium<br />

width <strong>and</strong> wide four-lane streets with trees at varying distances from the roadway, two<br />

tunnels, above street-level freeway with occasional overpasses, commercial areas, <strong>and</strong><br />

residential streets heavily shaded with trees. The fade-time series representation <strong>and</strong><br />

cumulative fade distribution <strong>for</strong> this run are given in Figure 7-25 <strong>and</strong> Figure 7-26,<br />

respectively.<br />
