and absorption.
Water droplets in rain or fog can cause scattering or absorption attenuation for electromagnetic wave.
Multipath fading grows more severe when the wave passes water surface or smooth ground surface.
Rain and fog weather do not cause much influence on high-frequency microwave
Rain and fog weather causes much influence on high-frequency microwave Fading is more severe
along plain route than mountain route, because atmosphere subdivision often occurs over plain and
the ground reflection factor of the plain is bigger.
