To understand, characterise, and model tropospheric impairments worldwide, propagation-measurement experiments for high-frequency satellite-communications systems have been conducted for several decades. These efforts have led to advances in the development of new space applications and the continued improvement of existing satellite services. In this chapter, Earth-satellite measurement campaigns focusing on our own experiments with Ka band beacon receivers conducted in Slovenia and Austria are presented. The focus is on the site-diversity configuration, data processing, and statistical analyses of the attenuation. Based on our own measurements, site-diversity performance is analysed in terms of the CCDFs of attenuation and equi-probable diversity gains for different combinations of ground stations.
