Statistical description of disturbance by rain on wave propagation in the 12 GHz region
Abstract
The disturbance of rain in analog and digital radio links and earth-satellite transmission in frequencies above 10 GHz is examined. Rain intensity spot measurements, radio link damping, and atmosphere noise temperature data are compared. The likelihood of diminishing attrition in earth-satellite transmission through diversity layouts is investigated. Minute mean value measurements and drop size are considered in an uninterrupted time span of several years.
