Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEarth-To-Space Improved Model for Rain Attenuation Prediction at Ku-BandMandeep Singh Jit Singh, S. S.I. Hassan, M. F. Ain et al.A model for predicting rain attenuation on earth-to-space was developed by using the measurement data obtained from tropical and equatorial region. The proposed rain attenuation model uses the complete rainfall rate cumulative distribution as input data. It was shown that significant improvements in terms of prediction error over existing attenuation model obtained. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,725 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRain Events Detection using Energy Variation of Commercial Microwave Links AttenuationWend Yam Serge Boris Ouedraogo, Moumouni Djibo, Ali Doumounia et al.In this study, we propose a new method for detecting wet periods by using telecommunications Commercial Microwave Links (CML). The purpose of the study is to automatically find rain time slots. The attenuation of the microwave signal, propagating between a transmitting antenna and a receiving one, due to the variations of the climatic conditions over the link, is a non-stationary … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 20 Aug 2022 · 6,287 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsV-Band Fade Dynamics Characteristics Analysis in Tropical RegionKhairayu Badron, Ahmad Fadzil Ismail, Jafri Din, Ahmad Tharek Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Satellite operations at V-band in tropical and equatorial regions are constrained as a result of attenuation from rain. Approach: Statistics for 20 consecutive months of V-band terrestrial link signal attenuation measurements in Malaysia were presented in this analysis. Such information was considered very pertinent for Earth-space communication link design and can be used for initial groundwork plan for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,802 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRainfall Attenuation and Rainfall Rate Measurements in Malaysia Comparison with Prediction ModelsMandeep Singh Jit Singh, Syed Idris Syed Hassan, Mohd Fadzil AinAttenuation due to rain is a primary cause of communication impairment on satellite-earth paths, especially above 10GHz. Rainfall is a serious source of attenuation at such a frequency. This paper presents the characteristics of rain distribution in USM based on measured one minute rain rate. For attenuation of rain, predictions models like ITU and VIHT (Variable Isotherm Height Technique) model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,938 accessesView PDF Cite
