Empirically derived path reduction factor for terrestrial microwave links operating at 15 ghz in Peninsula Malaysia

This paper describes the technique of deriving path reduction factor from experimental rain rate and rain attenuation data over seven DIGI MINI-LINKs operating at 15 GHz in Malaysia (Lat.: 1.45°N and Long.: 103.75°E). The relationship between experimental path reduction factors with different link l...
