| Summary: | Fade mitigation technique (FMT) is a method to
overcome the rain fade effects in microwave communication
link. The frequency diversity method using switching
technique was used and implemented in this research. The
frequency diversity improvement factor (FDIF) proposed by
ITU-R was analysed using measured data. The measurement
was used as a benchmark to evaluate the predicted and
proposed the FDIF. New frequency diversity improvement
factor (FDIF) model was developed based on rain fade data
measured at 5.8, 15 and 26 GHz. The proposed model
validated, measured and predicted data for the 5.8, 15 and 26 GHz which had simultaneous operation during rains was
found to have close agreement. |
