Performance study of automatic transmit power control (ATPC) in point to point microwave link for rain attenuation problem in Malaysia

Point-to-point microwave system is the backbone link for mobile communication industry as well as for other applications. In tropical region particularly in Malaysia, rain attenuation is the major constraint for implementing microwave system above 10GHz. The extreme of propagation channel environmen...
