Millimeter wave propagation measurements at the Ballistic Research Laboratory
Abstract
Measurements have been made with radars from 35 to 217 GHz of near-earth propagation through both natural and cultural obscurants. Results of measurements made in rain, fog, snow, high humidity, dust, and some smokes are presented for the major millimeter wave windows. Some modeling performed by other agencies is presented for comparison
