VHF/UHF/Microwave Radio Propagation: A Primer for Digital Experimenters
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper attempts to provide some insight into the nature of radio propagation in that part of the spectrum (upper VHF to microwave) used by experimenters for high-speed digital transmission. It begins with the basics of free space path loss calculations, and then considers the effects of refraction, diffraction and reflections on the path loss of Line of Sight (LOS) links. The nature of non-LOS radio links is then examined, and propagation effects other than path loss which are important in digital transmission are also described.

Australian vegetation is fire-prone. Every year, wet and dry sclerophyll forests of Western Australia, southeastern Australia and grassland ecosystems of the northern part of the continent are subject to high intensity fires. The sclerophyll vegetation contains up to 2.71 % of the element potassium. The element exists in plants’ organic matrix: attached to the oxygencontaining and carboxyl func...
متن کاملTemperature Effects on Anomalous Radio Duct Propagation in Korean Coastal Area
Atmospheric radio ducts can trap VHF/UHF radio waves and propagate them over long distances. 284.4625 MHz Japanese radio wave signal measurements show that the radio waves are propagated to Korea coastal regions when ground temperatures exceed 10◦C. This paper discusses the reasons for the existence of this critical temperature threshold. key words: radio duct, duct propagation, critical temper...
متن کاملPath Loss Modeling for Near-ground Vhf Radio-wave Propagation through Forests with Tree-canopy Reflection Effect
This paper presents a new methodology to model the nearground short-range propagation loss in forested areas at the VHF and the UHF band. The path loss modeling is performed by an integration of the foliage induced effect and the effect from the radiowave reflection/reflections. The analysis shows that the reflection from the dense tree canopy is important for short-range propagation at the VHF...
