Abstract :
An 8 GHz line-of-sight, over-water microwave link in Singapore is monitored. Annual and worst month statistics of fade depth over a one-year period are presented and compared to the ITU-R multipath fading prediction model. Diversity improvements achieved due to the space and frequency diversity used are also presented and discussed
