Fade Depth (dB)<br />

Figure 7-26: Cumulative distribution <strong>for</strong> Pasadena, Cali<strong>for</strong>nia 33 km run [Vaisnys <strong>and</strong><br />

Vogel, 1995].<br />

Jenkins et al. [1995] received spread spectrum signals from the TDRSS F3 satellite<br />

plat<strong>for</strong>m located at 61° W <strong>and</strong> determined cumulative fade distributions at 2.09 GHz <strong>for</strong><br />

various geographic locations in the western <strong>and</strong> southwestern United States. The<br />

distributions were derived from amplitude measurements <strong>of</strong> the strongest return<br />

observable within each averaged delay pr<strong>of</strong>ile. Measurements in 21 representative<br />

geographical locations in urban/suburban open plain, <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong>ested areas were executed.<br />

In Figure 7-27 are shown example distributions <strong>for</strong> tree lined roads at 18° elevation in<br />

Sequoia National Park, Cali<strong>for</strong>nia <strong>and</strong> at 41° elevation in Slidel, Louisiana. The very<br />

different characteristics <strong>of</strong> these distributions are due to the influence <strong>of</strong> elevation angle<br />

<strong>and</strong> the excessive shadowing <strong>and</strong> blockage at Sequoia National Park.
