Information
Moseley SL9003Q 602-12016 Revision G
r = actual fade probability/Rayleigh fade probability ( =10-F/10)
Where,
F = fade margin, to the minimum acceptable point, in dB.
For the worst month, the fade probability due to terrain is given by:
rm = a x 10-5 x (f/4) x D3
Where,
D = path length in miles.
f = frequency in GHz.
a (terrain factor)
= 4 for smooth terrain.
= 1 for average terrain.
= 1/4 for mountainous, very rough, or very dry terrain.
