Abstract :
Three-year experimental data on rain attenuation is employed to analyse fade slopes for four terrestrial line of sight (LOS) systems in Singapore. The statistical results of fade slope are presented on both cumulative probability distributions during rain events and relationships with fade level for fade countermeasure. A fade slope occurrence prediction model is also provided for short links based on point rainfall rate
