60GHz Absorption: The 60GHz band experiences significant signal attenuation due to absorption by oxygen molecules in the atmosphere. This severely restricts the usable range of wireless systems operating in this frequency.
Why Other Options Don't Apply:
Atmospheric Scattering: Impacts longer wavelength transmissions, less significant at 60GHz.
Solar Radiation: Can cause interference on some frequencies, but not a primary range limitation at 60GHz.
Rain Fade: Primarily affects higher frequencies (above 10GHz), but its impact is less severe than oxygen absorption at 60GHz.
