Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to present a series of measurements of the mobile and nomadic satellite propagation channels in Ku and Ka bands, covering mainly the environments encountered by vehicles of public transportation. The first campaign “without leaves” conducted in April 2014 provided a good dataset of Ku and Ka-band attenuation caused by four different kinds of trees. Mobile Ku-band measurements gave acquisitions on much longer path sections including railway or tramway sections and sections with evenly spaced trees. A second campaign was conducted “with leaves” in June and July 2014.
