Rain analysis on Ka-Band for terrestrial link point to point communication in Malaysia

Radio waves propagate through the earth's atmosphere will be attenuated due to presence of the atmosphere particles such as water vapor, water drops and the ice particles. Meantime the atmospheric gases and rain will absorb the scatter the radio path. Consequently, degrades the performance of t...
