Abstract:Sand and dust storms (SDS) are significant atmospheric phenomena that have a negative impact on wireless links operating at various frequencies. Specifically, sand and dust (SD) particles produce attenuation in propagating electromagnetic (EM) waves upon impact, which must be measured for the proper functioning of the fade mitigation strategy. The attenuation due to SDS can be reliably evaluated using specialized equipment. However, field experiments have been conducted in only a few locations and for a limite… Show more
