A predictor model for SHF and EHF MILSATCOM system availabilities in the presence of rain
Abstract
A numerical method for computing MILSATCOM system availability based on predicted link availability is described. Link availability can be computed in the model for frequencies of 10-50 GHz, arbitrary geostationary satellite subpoint, and arbitrary value of link margin in dB. Computed availability contours are plotted on a Mercator grid of the world.
