On the performance of telemedicine system using 17-GHz orthogonally polarized microwave links under the influence of heavy rainfall.

This paper describes the design of a telemedicine system based on next-generation wireless local area networks (WLANs) operating at 17 GHz. Seventeen gigahertz is proposed for next-generation WLAN services offering numerous advantages over traditional IEEE 802.11 networks that operate in the range o...
