Ka-band propagation campaign in Malaysia - first months of operation and site diversity analysis

Satellite communication systems operating at high frequencies (Ka-band and above) are severely impaired by atmospheric phenomena, particularly in tropical and equatorial regions, where the climatic characteristics affect several propagation parameters, including rain, cloud and gaseous attenuation,...
