An Improved Transmission Equation under Environmental Influences

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
Radio frequency (RF) communication channel severely suffers from tropospheric scintillation fading caused by the dynamic nature of the atmospheric conditions thereby impairing its performance and availability: this induced channel fading effect must be accounted for in the link transmission equation. In this paper, we have proposed an improved transmission link equation by taking into account scintillation fading effect and magnitude of the refractive-index structure parameter that play very important role in links calculations. This transmission model provides the basis for communication engineers a platform to work with in the link budgetary for planning and design of low margin systems of free space communication link.
