Dynamic behaviour of radio channels due to trans-horizon propagation mechanisms

To study the propagation mechanisms of trans-horizon radio links, the authors propose an event-based approach. Data from one year captured on a trans-horizon link of 156 km are divided into different groups according to the signal amplitude signature of the chart recordings. The propagation mechanisms for each group are investigated using the cross-correlation between received signal amplitudes along the same path. These amplitudes are obtained using two different transmitter antenna heights.<>
