Abstract:Past studies have established that in the S-band range of 2GHz, rain attenuation is negligible. However, every year, heavier rain intensities are being experienced in tropical countries like Malaysia due to current global warming conditions. The study presented in this paper aims to quantify the rain attenuation that is suffered by Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) signals in the 2.3GHz in medium city and suburban environments in some parts of Malaysia. The Received Signal Strengths gathe… Show more
