Which outcome occurs when a microwave communication antenna experiences sustained precipitation?

A)Reduced signal strength (rain fade)
B)Increased signal bandwidth (Doppler shift)
C)Amplified signal gain (water lensing)
D)Phase shift mitigation (polarization mixing)

💡 Explanation

Reduced signal strength (rain fade) happens because atmospheric attenuation due to raindrops absorbs and scatters microwave radiation through the Mie scattering mechanism. Therefore, the signal weakens, rather than amplifying; other shifts are minimal because bulk precipation doesn't have highly structured velocities.
