A revised free space path loss (FSPL) formulation for satellite link operating in tropical region

Adequate fade margins for all conditions are critical in ensuring reliable satellite operation. The required fade margin value for the specific desired quality of service (QoS) can be established from the statistics of outage due to attenuation. More power margin is typically required in mitigating...

In the case of clear sky attenuation, the value is much dependent on the atmospheric layer conditions and their compositions. For absolute Free Space, the signal loss is only dependent on distance and frequency. In this study, the effects of power, distance and frequency were analysed in the investigation of identifying the most appropriate clear sky attenuation. This can be achieved by designing, assemble and carried out empirical experimental set up to evaluate FSPL values to identify the variation between the theoretical and empirical values of the free space path loss at Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) room at Malaysian National Space Agency located at Banting Selangor.

The clear sky conditions were confirmed using S-band (Terminal Doppler Weather Radar) TDWR reflectivity information acquired from Malaysian Meteorology department (MMD). Validation for the proposed revised free space path loss equation by using RazakSAT S-band (2.232 GHz) transmission signal data were furnished by the Malaysian National Space Agency (ANGKASA). The RazakSAT processed received signal level was taken into consideration by eliminating any possible signal variation due to atmospheric impairments (La). As a result, the revised free space path loss equation proposed the better FSPL value than the ITU-R proposed equation. This is certainly a great improvement as compared to ITU-R estimation. The findings of this research will be valuable for the future engineers in configuring the best communication establishment for satellite system operating in the tropics. 2019-07-31 Monograph NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/73802/3/full%20report%20format%20Khairayu.pdf Badron, Khairayu and Ismail, Ahmad Fadzil and Basri, Atikah Balqis (2019) A revised free space path loss (FSPL) formulation for satellite link operating in tropical region.
