Abstract :
Investigations of the effect of path inclination on fading, based on the data collected from three line-of-sight (LOS) microwave links over the Indian subcontinent, are reported. It is observed that as the path inclination increases, the number and depth of fades caused by layers are reduced. In regions where temperature inversions prevail for a considerable percentage of the time, the design of LOS links should incorporate the concept of path inclination to overcome fading
