Abstract:Cellular diversity systems of rhomboidal structure as a means to overcome rain attenuation problems for frequencies greater than 10 GHz are analyzed and compared to conventional route diversity systems. The proposed model is applicable to systems using diversity hop lengths more than 30 km. Application of the cellular system for regions characterized by different rainfall climates, similar to those observed in Canada and Europe, with ƒ = 11 GHz gives a saving in the number of required repeaters up to about a v… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
