Abstract

The appearance of the foliage medium in the path of the communication link in Millimeter band has found to play a significant role on the quality of services for wireless communication. In this paper an attempt has been made to quantify the signal attenuation of microwave signal at 35 GHz due to varying foliage length so the communication with any degree of confidence can be assured in a foliage environment. It concludes that the signal attenuation doesn't increase linearly as the number of trees or the length of foliage increases. For the measurement of signal attenuation, a Gunn oscillator trans-receiver system of 35 GHz (100mW) is used.
