Preliminary analysis on the effect of rain attenuation on Free Space Optics (FSO) propagation measured in tropical weather condition

Free Space Optics (FSO) as potential high speed connectivity has capability similar to fiber optic in term of speed and bandwidth. The advantages of FSO over fiber are time and cost of deployment. However, since the transmission medium of FSO is atmosphere, atmospheric scattering is the major cause...
