Abstract

EN As fixed wireless access (FWA) is still envisioned as a reasonable way to achieve communications links, foliage attenuation becomes an important wireless channel impairment in the millimeter-wave bandwidth. Foliage is modeled in the radiative transfer equation as a medium of random scatterers. However, other phenomena in the wireless channel may also occur. In this work, vegetation attenuation measurements are presented for a single tree alley for 26–32 GHz. The results show that vegetation loss increases significantly after the second tree in the alley. Measurement-based foliage losses are compared with model-based, and new tuning parameters are proposed for models.
