Fading statistics on an over-the-sea transhorizon link

A wideband experimental system designed to analyse an 11.647 GHz transhorizon channel subject to troposcatter and anomalous propagation conditions is described. The evolution of the channel during multipath fading condition is presented with the aid of the estimated channel impulse response. The fading statistics of wideband and narrow band signals for a period of 8 months is presented.
