==Fade Mechanisms==
Microwave fades fall into the following categories:

* Multipath fading
* Obstruction fading
* Fading due to a specular reflection
* Ducting and propagation anomalies
* Rain fading (above ~ 8 GHz)

With the exception of rain fading, microwave fading only
depends on the change of the refractive index with height
along the path
