A Study of Gas and Rain Propagation Effects at 48 GHz for HAP Scenarios

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The atmosphere and rainfall significantly limit the performance of millimeter wave links and this has to be taken into account, particularly, during planning of high altitude platform (HAP) networks. This paper presents results from the measurement and simulation...
