Rain attenuation study at 11 GHz - Experimental results and investigation on the statistical properties of single attenuative events
Abstract
This paper deals with the experimental results of attenuation measurements carried out at 11 GHz on two radio links, 10 and 22.5 km in length respectively, for a period of three consecutive years. Besides usual overall statistics, the statistical parameters of the distribution curves of single attenuative events are investigated and simple relationships among them are found. At last, a generalization of the rainfall reduction coefficient method is presented to transform rain rate statistics into attenuation statistics.
