Investigation of foliage effects via remote data logging at 5.8 GHz

This paper presents an unconventional methodology in examining the extent of vegetation blockage effects imposed on near line-of-sight (NLOS) fixed wireless links based on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standard operating at freque...
