Three of the following are addressed by a fade margin. Which is the odd one out?

An obstacle permanently intruding into the Fresnel zone

Rain attenuation during a heavy shower

Multipath fading during still anticyclonic weather

Scintillation on a low elevation satellite path

  • A.Multipath fading during still anticyclonic weather
  • B.Scintillation on a low elevation satellite path
  • C.An obstacle permanently intruding into the Fresnel zone
  • D.Rain attenuation during a heavy shower

Answer: C

Rain, multipath and scintillation are time varying impairments whose statistics determine how large a margin must be. A permanent obstruction is a fixed loss that belongs in the budget itself rather than in the margin, and no amount of margin will make an obstructed path behave as a clear one. Distinguishing a constant term from a varying one decides whether it is subtracted once or covered statistically.
