Study of shadowing effect by aircraft maneuvering for air-to-ground communication

This paper investigates the shadowing effect induced by an aircraft during maneuvering for air-to-ground communication at C band. Narrowband measurements with a linear flight route and a circular flight route have been conducted and the results are compared in this paper. It is found that, the commu...
