3 natures of Precipitation
1. Orographic Precipitation – when mist air if force upwards to high ground until due point is
reached.
2. Convectional Precipitation – occurs during not summer days when, in the afternoon, there is
cloud build up due to convection of hot humid air.
3. Cyclonic Precipitation- due to synoptic features such as depressions and fronts
Effective Path length
Antenna size – directly proportional, the larger antenna used, the larger the gain.
Fade margin- directly proportional, the larger the fade margin, the higher the
reliability.
Frequency- inversely proportional, the higher the frequency used, the lower the
reliability.
Dehydrators – pump cool dry air into the waveguide, reducing the amount of water
vapor inside, and increasing the pressure higher than that of ambient conditions.
