Determination of fade margin for Ka band operating in equatorial region

Reliability of satellite-Earth communication links can be improved by ensuring the availability of adequate fade margin. Fade margin can be established from prediction methods and also determined from quantitative analyses. Malaysia is located in the equatorial region, where Ka band link experiences...
