Abstract

In wireless communication systems, adverse weather conditions such as rainfall, dust and sand storms can significantly degrade radio frequency (RF) signal quality, and leading to reduced performance and reliability. Unlike, the recent Rf switching channel because the switching depends on the revived power. This paper presents the design and implementation of an intelligent RF channel switching system that leverages environmental sensing and fuzzy logic control to mitigate rain and sand on induced signal attenuation. The proposed system utilizes compact, cost effective sensors to detect environmental parameters such as rain intensity and particle size of sandstorm. These sensor inputs are processed using a fuzzy logic controller, which dynamically determines optimal RF channel selection to maintain communication integrity. The system's responsiveness to changing weather conditions and its ability to make nuanced decisions based on imprecise inputs highlight the effectiveness of fuzzy logic in real-time adaptive control. Simulated results demonstrate improved signal quality and reduced outage probability during simulated rainfall and sandstorms events. The proposed approach offers a scalable, low power solution for weather aware RF systems in both urban and remote deployment scenarios.
