Development of an empirical dust storm attenuation prediction model for microwave links in arid area – a proposed framework

Wireless communication service providers are currently facing challenges due to the congested frequencies spectrum which has imposed the use of higher and higher frequencies. However, higher frequency bands are more sensitive to weather condition and the microwave signal attenuation due to atmospher...
