Measurements of effective sea reflectivity and attenuation due to rain at 81 GHz
Abstract
The results obtained with a link at 81 GHz established over a 5.6 km path close to the sea surface in S. England are described. The probablity of observing large values of specular reflection coefficient and the need for better data on which to predict the statistical behavior of attenuation at millimeter wavelengths with rainfall over maritime paths are discussed.
