Methods for the prediction of the attenuation statistics of radio waves in the 10-100 GHz range in rain - Inclined paths
Abstract
Available data on methods and computational models for the prediction of the mean statistical probability of radio-wave attenuation at 10-100 GHz in rain on inclined space-ground paths are examined. Existing prediction methods are compared, and the method of Misme and Waldteufel (1980) is found to yield the best agreement between calculations and experimental results. A computational algorithm is developed with the aim of extending the applicability of the Misme-Waldteufel method to higher frequencies.
