| Summary: | The microwave signal attenuation caused by dust is one
of the major problems in utilizing microwave bands for terrestrial
and space communication especially at desert and semi desert area.
This paper presents a mathematical model developed to characterize
the microwave signal attenuation due to dust. This model enables a
convenient calculation of the microwave signal path attenuation which
relates attenuation to visibility, frequency, particle size and complex
permittivity. The predicted values from the mathematical model,
which are compared with the measured values observed by the author
in Sudan show relatively optimistic agreement. |
