Effects of Rain Attenuation on Satellite Video Transmission

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Heavy convective rain events are often experienced in tropical countries such as Singapore. The operation of high-speed satellite transmission in the Ka-band is therefore susceptible to attenuation. We present the setup of a high-speed link via the WINDS satellite using an ultra small aperture terminals (USAT). Video streaming is performed over the high-speed link so as to investigate the effects of rainfall on the signal strength of the link and the video quality. The video streaming is performed at two locations 40km apart in order to examine site diversity as a mitigation technique.
