A Simple and Cost Effective Data Acquisition System for Mobile Satellite Experimental Work under Treeshadowed and Building-shadowed

Signal degradation in Mobile Satellite (MS) is due to several factors such as ionospheric effect, multipath fading, treeshadowed and building-shadowed. This affects the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) to provide continuous communication service to the users. Since there is not adequate data avail...
