Bistatic rain-scatter experiment at 34.8 GHz
Abstract
A bistatic rain-scatter experiment was conducted at 34.8 GHz. The effect of severe rain-induced attenuation on received power from rain scattering was examined with the aid of a 5.33 GHz rain radar installed at the receiving site. It was found that an isolated small rainfall region with high rainfall rate caused a strong received power from rain scattering at 34.8 GHz, though the occurrence of such an event was not frequent. Angular dependence of rain scattering at 34.8 GHz was also examined.
