The expressions are derived from clear-air, rainfall propagation mechanisms and multipath fading due to multipath arising from surface reflection along the defined microwave LOS radio link. We verify the mathematical model by using the ATDI ICS telecom software over sample microwave LOS radio links located in Turkey. © 2015 IEEE.EnglishMicrowave FET integrated circuitsMicrowave integrated circuitsMicrowave theory and techniquesRadio linkPropagation lossesFadingAttenuationConference Paper10.1109/APS.2015.7304846978-1-4799-7815-1
