Radio waves are attenuated by atmospheric phenomena such as snow, rain, dust, clouds,
and ice, which absorb radio signals. Signal attenuation becomes more severe at extremely …

The analysis of a territory's climatic water balance dynamics against the background of
climate change is a key component for increasing water resource management efficiency …

Millimeter waves (mm‐waves) within frequency bands of 10 to 86 GHz will be used for both
microwave and access link fifth‐generation (5G) systems. Thus, it is very important to …

The explosive daily dependence on wireless communication services necessitates the
research to establish ultrawideband communication systems with ultrahigh bit rate …

A study of the raindrop size distribution along the eastern coast of South Africa (Durban) is
presented. The Biweight kernel estimator based on distometer measurement is used to …

Network fade countermeasures for link budget can be better implemented based on the
knowledge of seasonal variability of rainfall attenuation in a locality. Therefore, in this study …

Millimeter and microwave system design at higher frequencies require as input a 1-min rain-
rate cumulative distribution function for estimating the level of degradation that can be …

Rain cell size is an input requirement for rain-induced attenuation studies. It is useful in
estimating the extent of a given radio link path that will traverse the rain medium in a given …

Rainfall is a major cause of propagation degradation in wireless communication systems at
microwave and millimetre bands. While the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-R) …

Rain fade in radio networks is generated from random fluctuations of rainfall rates, within
rain events of spatiotemporal dimensions. These events can be represented as a catenation …
