97 GHz point-to-point line-of-sight radio link operating in an urban environment

Differential evolution based prediction of rain attenuation over a LOS terrestrial link situated in the southern United Kingdom

“…The transmitter and receiver systems were mounted on benches inside the cabins and with the antennas mounted indoors, the signals passed through polystyrene windows. The detailed descriptions of the experimental equipment, topographical parameters of the link, experimental geometry and data acquisition technique have been reported by Khan et al [1999]. Also, link power budget, parameters of the link and the topographical parameters belonging to the transmitter and the receiver sites can be found in Khan et al [2003].…”

“…The 97‐GHz transmitter in Khan et al 's [1999] established experimental equipment was composed of a Gunn diode oscillator. This oscillator was capable of transmitting a CW signal at 97‐GHz frequency, and radiated a power of approximately 17 dBm (51 mW).…”

“…Recently, Khan et al [1999] established a millimeter wave experimental equipment between the University of Portsmounth and Fort Widley for a 97 GHz point‐to‐point LOS terrestrial link. This link was realized in an urban environment on a path length of 6.526 km and operated over a period of 12 months from February 1999 to January 2000.…”
