Tree attenuation at 870 MHz was studied using a helicopter as a source platform and a van with receiver and data acquisition instrumentation. Tree attenuation results were obtained with the van stationary and in motion to determine land mobile satellite systems link parameter requirements (expected fading due to roadside trees for mobile and stationary vehicles). Single tree attenuation results give worst case median fades as high as 15 dB although roadside tree values produce fades greater than 20 dB for small percentages of time. The cumulative fade distributions and their relative contributions as a function of path elevation angle, right side versus left side driving, and different road types are derived from the field measurements.
