Abstract :
Measurements of the shadow fading characteristics in tactical communication scenarios have been presented. New parameter sets for widely used shadow fading models have been proposed. Modeling the shadow fading using these parameter sets, rather than the parameters obtained through measurements with high antenna setups, will result in a more realistic representation of the phenomenon for communication systems with car-mounted Rx and Tx antennas.
