Photogrammetric prediction of mobile satellite fading in roadside tree-shadowed environment

A series of hemispherical pictures was taken near Ottawa, Canada and used to generate simulated fading time series for that environment. Photogrammetric satellite service prediction (PSSP) derived propagation statistics are compared with radio frequency measurements taken along the same roads. The results show that PSSP provides a convincing way to predict the elevation angle dependence of fading properties in the shadowed environment
