This paper presents the information about the vegetation effect at palm oil trees to the terrestrialpropagation of wireless communication at 433MHz. By using the well-established technology which isRadio Frequency Identification (RFID), a measurement is conducted at both Open Space and Palm Oilfarm. Based on RFID Air Interface Standards ISO/IEC 18000-7, it supports standard air interfaceimplementations for wireless and non-contact information system equipment. The characteristic of palmoil trees will be studied as it will be the main obstruction to the communication. The data will be analyzedand the average excess path loss due to Palm Oil trees can be determined. Furthermore, the performanceof signal from the measurement will be compared with the result from existing model of propagation.References
