model in a tropical location is presented in this work. The inputs to the drop size distribution
(DSD) models have been obtained from Heipang, Nigeria (9.04 N, 7.5 E) using the pointing
Micro Rain Radar (MRR). The effect of the raindrop diameter on the drop size distribution
models (DSD) is investigated over the operating frequency range of 4 GHz to 40 GHz. The
estimated rain rate for 99.99% availability for Heipang was used as input to the DSD models …
