Propagation factors in millimetre-wave radio-system design
Abstract
Recent experimental results on the effects of specific weather structures on radio propagation in millimeter-wave regions are reviewed. Fading and crosspolarization effects in terrestrial line-of-sight and earth-satellite operations in three frequency bands (2-10 GHz; 10-30 GHz; 30-300 GHz) are outlined and compared. Improvements in attenuation/rain correlations which can be gained using synthetic storm models are discussed, and the advantages and limitations of different rainfall sampling approaches are considered.
