At high rain intensity (150 mm/hr), the fading of an RF signal at 2.4 GHz
may reach a maximum of 0.02 dB/Km
Wind may cause fading due to antenna motion
• Interference
Interference may be caused by another system on the same frequency
range, external noise, or some other co-located system.
The Line of Sight Concept
An optical line of sight exists if an imaginary straight line can be drawn
connecting the antennas on either side of the link.
Clear Line of Sight
A clear line of sight exists when no physical objects obstruct viewing one
antenna from the location of the other antenna.
A radio wave clear line of sight exists if a defined area around the optical
line of sight (Fresnel Zone) is clear of obstacles.
Fresnel Zone
The Fresnel zone is the area of a circle around the line of sight.
The Fresnel Zone is defined as follows:
Figure 9.12: Fresnel Zone
R = ½ √ (λxD)
R: radius of the first Fresnel zone
λ: wavelength
