Interfade Duration Statistics at Ku-band for Satellite Earth Links System in Equatorial Malaysia: Modeling Distribution
Abstract: Fade dynamics is one
of more important parameters when implementing Fade Mitigation Techniques
(FMTs) to counteract an excessive attenuation that affect satellite communication
systems operating above 10 GHz. The statistics of probable duration between two
rain fade namely interfadeduration enables system operator to estimate how long
the system will need to recover before the nextoutage and assist in designing
the FMTs. In this paper, interfade duration statistics have been derived fromone
year of slant path attenuation measurements data collected in Equatorial Johor
Bahru at 12.2 GHzwith elevation angle of 75.61o. The result had shown the
dependency of number of events with attenuation thresholds. Empirical interfade
duration statistics are also obtained and suitable model distribution aren proposed.
