“…The increase in humidity in these months compared to March also contributed to the decrease in temperature, and by implication, increase in the signal strength. This result conforms with the works of [ 11 , 14 , 15 , 13 ,&6]] in which the signal strength recorded was found to be inversely proportional to temperature, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure, and directly proportional with relative humidity in their separate research works done in Benin city-Edo State, Enugu State, and Jos, Plateau State respectively.…”

“…Though some related works have been done such as the works by Refs. [ [12] , [13] , [14] ] in Benin city [ 15 ], in Enugu state [ 5 ] in Abuja and Jos, no work has been done on this radio station, Maloney FM Radio, Keffi since it was established in 2016, hence, making this research work very necessary.…”

“…Moreover, attenuation by scattering is greater for relatively large wavelengths of GSM signal strength compared to dust particle size, which might disturb the atmosphere and radio wave propagation. This is consistent with the findings by [19] and earlier researchers who also observed radio signal obstruction during Harmattan and an absence of radio line-of-sight [20][21][22].…”

The automated Global System for Mobile Communication Signal Strength and Radio Climatological (GSM-RC) measuring device is an integration of different electronic sensors in a box for an in-situ measuring system. The sensor, data logging, and communication subsystems are integrated for transmitting information on meteorological parameters (MPs) and GSM signal strength level (SSL). The goal is to develop a device that could simultaneously measure MP and SSL of GSM communication systems in any location of interest. This is to reduce significant errors due to a lack of synchronization among multiple devices. To accomplish this objective, we designed an atmospheric sensing system with GSM SSL, temperature, relative humidity, and pressure sensors integrated as a GSM-RC unit. An Arduino microcontroller unit was used to wirelessly transmit the data collected by various sensors in each subsystem and stored on a micro-SD card. A statistical analysis of the SSL between the GSM-RC and the Samsung Galaxy A10s mobile reveals a correlation of roughly 0.99. The ANOVA analysis of variance demonstrates no noticeable distinction between the SSL from developed and conventional devices. The P-value is about 0.93, with α-value of 0.05. The MPs were validated with a standard Vintage Pro weather station, and the data were statistically correlated with accuracies close to unity. A field test was carried out with the device to measure the SSL through the GSM and the selected MP in Akure from January to December 2022. The findings indicate a weak and poor correlation between temperature and signal strength, while relative humidity and pressure have a positive and weak correlations with the signal strength. This implies that an increase in SSL leads to a slight decrease in temperature while the relative humidity and pressure increase slightly. Other than being affordable in terms of production and deployment, the device has also solved the problem of labour-intensiveness arising from bulkiness.
