Abstract

The antennas gain (GA) loss (for antennas with GA = 40–45 dB) in tropospheric-scatter communication (TSC) systems is determined by a mechanism of long distance tropospheric radio waves propagation (LDTRWP) [1] and affects TSC systems power potential that determines noise immunity of these systems [2, 5] and fade margin [3, 4].
