摘要：

This paper investigates the dynamic property of a tropical forested channel due to the weather effect on very high frequency (VHF) and ultrahigh frequency (UHF) radio-wave propagation. In this paper, continuous-wave (CW) envelope fading waveforms are recorded over a period of 50 s with static antennas. This paper focuses on the analysis of the combined effect of wind and rain, which is often encountered in a tropical forest. The induced temporal effects are discussed and compared with theoretical models. It is found that the distribution of temporal fading components resembles a Rician distribution function. Its Rician K factor gradually decreases as the strength of either wind or rain increases due to the movement of the forest components.
