Abstract
Deep fading, e.g., > 40 dB, was observed at 9.6 GHz on a 150 km path with terminals at 3025 and 3300 m elevations and with no significant illumination of the earth´s surface. Fades at two antennas separated horizontally by 100 m were largely uncorrelated. Phase variability was also measured and is presented in terms of spectra and coherency between antennas with 10 m and 100 m horizontal spacing.
