Rain induced attenuation studies using RazakSAT space-Earth links

Rain induced attenuation is the main reason for the decrease of Space-Earth communication links’ received signal strength. This is more perceptible in the tropical regions due to copious heavy rainfall throughout the years. RazakSAT is a Malaysian remote sensing satellite that utilizes two frequ...
