Surface Refractivity Profile Construction on One-Fourth Kilometer Square Area for 1800 to 1900 Mhz Frequency

Abstract

The meteorological parameters review the impact of refractivity on received signal strength for the one-fourth kilometre square area is confer for frequency 1800 to 1900 MHz. It is necessary to know the refractivity profile of radio frequencies in the surface layer of the atmosphere to predict the execution of a radio system for the consistent gradient of refractivity. The data were accumulated from the Atoll software and then an experimental setup was used on the same investigated area to compare both figures and find out the effect of refractivity on received signal strength. It has been analyzed that environmental parameter such as temperature, humidity, and height above the ground level play a major role in varying refractivity. The information recorded from the experimental arrangement shows that when refractivity is high (more particularly around the afternoon time and in the morning time, the humidity is high) the quality of the signal strength is degraded, while at that point when the refractivity is low (more particularly during the daytime when humidity is low due to high temperature) the quality of the signal strength is better. Refractivity and signal strength are inversely proportional to each other. It is essential to apply an accurate path loss prediction technique to demonstrate the need for a precise accounting of the refraction and ducting when planning future radio networks.
