Non-Line-of-Site (NLOS) and Inclement Weather Conditions
|
When a line-of-sight path is impaired by light obstructions (i.e. foliage or small buildings) it can result in severe signal degradation. Likewise, rain, snow and other inclement weather cause a microcosm of conditions (i.e. reflectivity, absorption, phasing, multi-path, line of site, etc.) that can negatively impact signal integrity. Circular polarization is more resistant to signal degradation due to NLOS or weather conditions and is much more effective than linear polarization for establishing and maintaining clear communication links. |
