الملخص: | Northeast (NE) monsoon season in Malaysia was developed due to conjunction with cold air outbreaks from Siberia
produce heavy rains, strong wind, and high humidity. This weather condition can affect the radio signal transmission
which is crucial to spectrum user. This work investigates the effect of the wet season due to Northeast season on radio
signal power within Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band at KUSZA Observatory (KO). Three of weather parameters (wind
speed, humidity and rain rate) was considered with the radio signal variation. Measurement of these weather
parameters and radio signal power level (dBm) were collected using weather station and spectrum analyzer
respectively. From the result obtained, we found that wind speed played a role in radio signal attenuation indirectly.
The combination of wind speed (km/h) along with high humidity (%) and rain rate(mm/s) during NE monsoon season
have given a significant impact to a radio signal. These findings is useful to radio astronomer to determine the best
period for radio astronomical observation with minimum interference considering weather condition. This study will
also beneficial to spectrum user such as mobile telecommunication, wireless internet and radio broadcasting in
managing and improving their services. |
