Rainfall scatter interference between terrestrial and satellite radiolinks
Abstract
Results obtained from the analysis of the most intense scatter events are presented together with a general description of the experimental setup. These interferences may be important in the case of frequency shaving between terrestrial and satellite links. A relatively low height of the common beam volume was chosen to assure the applicability of rainfall ground measurements. Statistical single and joint analysis were carried out and the results were compared with a theoretical model of the rain structure. The results are encouraging for further research on predicting coupling from rain intensity statistics.
