Information on Atmospheric Absorption Loss

In satellite communications, atmospheric Absorption loss results from the absorption of the Earth-satellite signals as they pass through the Earth's atmosphere. The value of the atmospheric loss is strongly dependent on frequency.


Other topics in our resources on Satellite Communications related to Atmospheric Absorption Loss include: 
 
  • Beam-spreading Loss
  • Polarisation Loss
  • Rayleigh fading

  • Scintillation Loss
  • Free-space loss

  • Weather Loss
  • Doppler Effect
