Results are presented of experimental measurements of the angle of arrival and amplitude of the individual rays in a multipath microwave propagation situation. On the basis of extensive data collected on a 31.5-km path, statistical distributions that are expected to be of assistance in the design of diversity, especially angle-diversity, microwave systems are presented. In the application of the technique, a sampling interval of 1 s appears to be sufficient to capture the variations in the individual paths, and the range in angle of arrival (1.4 degrees ), determined by the element spacing, appears to be sufficiently wide to avoid aliasing problems.>
