Radio environment characterization for radio communication and other applications in India

Abstract

The performance estimation of radio communication with high degree of accuracy is still not possible despite of intense research efforts over tropical region. On the basis of experimental measurements/observations, the radio researchers and users have developed empirical relationships and tried to utilize such results to similar geographical regions. But these relationships have to be tested with the data generated over different geographical locations in India before applying to the design and installation of communication and radar system.
