Summary:
This paper reports the study of propagation through tropical coconut foliage channel for VHF and UHF bands. From the narrowband experimental data, the variation of path loss with distance in the foliage area is analyzed and compared with known values published by other researchers. Frequency domain measurements were also conducted to evaluate the effects of multipath fading on the propagating signal in foliage. All these results indicate that tree trunk in the coconut plantation is a major scatterer at high frequency, and tree canopy affects the low frequency signal a lot in short range propagation.
