Rain fade and it's effect analysis for earth-to-satellite microwave link based on measured rainfall statistics in Bangladesh

The fast growth in communication systems has resulted congestion in lower frequency bands and microwave link designers are forced to explore higher and higher frequencies. Rain is a dominant source of attenuation at higher frequencies and consequently degrades the system performance in tropical and...
