Determination of rain characterististics for propagation studies in UTM, Malaysia

Studies have shown that the communication systems operating above 10 GHz are extremely vulnerable to attenuation due to rain, and the effects are more severe in the tropical country such as Malaysia which experience heavier rainfall intensity as compared to the temperate regions. Currently most of t...

description Studies have shown that the communication systems operating above 10 GHz are extremely vulnerable to attenuation due to rain, and the effects are more severe in the tropical country such as Malaysia which experience heavier rainfall intensity as compared to the temperate regions. Currently most of the data on rain induced attenuation and its effects on communication transmission are based on situations and conditions in the temperate regions, which cannot be reliably applied to the communication condition in tropical regions. In addition to that, telecommunication engineers must be aware that the integrity of microwave systems have been designed for use in countries with a temperate climate and may not be capable to adapt to conditions in countries with tropical climates.
