Evaluation of climate change effects on rain rate distribution in Malaysia using hydro-estimator for 5G and microwave links

Wireless transmissions at more than 10GHz can experience signal fading caused by the presence of hydrometeor particles in the atmosphere. Among these hydrometeors, rain is the largest contributor to the fading mechanism. Rain fade can be predicted or calculated using rain rate measurements. With cli...
