Fading correlation modelling for troposcatter microwave propagation in array antenna detection applications

“…Fig. 2c provides the comparison between our results and the experimental results of 345 km with 3.1° dB beamwidth in [20] and 258 km with 2.6° 3 dB beamwidth in [21]. As noted, our correlation results with the same channel parameters are consistent with the experimental results presented in [20,21].…”

“…2c provides the comparison between our results and the experimental results of 345 km with 3.1° dB beamwidth in [20] and 258 km with 2.6° 3 dB beamwidth in [21]. As noted, our correlation results with the same channel parameters are consistent with the experimental results presented in [20,21]. However, some deviations between the theoretical and experimental results can be observed in these figures, since the STF here considers the temperate marine climate, while the real-world atmospheric conditions are not uniformly ideal.…”

“…The troposcatter channel fading correlation has been well studied under cooperative occasions, e.g. communication both theoretically [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and experimentally [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Troposcatter communication is marred by channel fading, while diversity receptions provide additional independent channels to relieve fading deterioration, and consequently promote the communications reliability and data rate efficiently.…”

“…Kennedy [17] and Patrick [18] focus on frequency correlation in the troposcatter links and some confirmatory trail can be found in [13,14] as well. The authors in [19,21,22] provide the fading correlation results with different channels' vertical space. The authors in [20][21][22] provide the fading correlation results with different channels' horizontal space.…”

“…The authors in [19,21,22] provide the fading correlation results with different channels' vertical space. The authors in [20][21][22] provide the fading correlation results with different channels' horizontal space. Besides, correlation results along horizontal angle are provided in [20] as well.…”
