A projection of microwave received signal anomaly due to air pollution

Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of the effect of different environmental changes on micro-wave communication signals. The changes in signal levels with the changes of climatic parameters have been studied here. Out of many climatic parameters, black carbon, dust, carbon monoxide and rain have affected microwave communication the most. The study has been focused at Delhi in India where the pollution level is very high throughout the year. The troposphere region has been chosen where cellular communication is predominant.
