This paper studies the rain-induced propagation characteristics over a tropical location
Kolkata, India, using the data collected over a 7 year period, ie, 2004-2010. This location …

Satellite communications operating at 10GHz and above in the tropics suffer severe signal
degradation due to rain. Attenuation due to rain at 38GHz had been measured for a period …

Rain fade causes signal attenuation which can relatively results in signal quality
performance degradation, increased pathloss and coverage area reduction in satellite …

Accurate rainfall rate is important for predicting rain attenuation over a satellite link.
Raindrops are able to take in, spread out, and change the polarization of satellite signals …

Rain attenuation is the dominant propagation impairment for satellite communication
systems operating at frequencies above about 10 GHz. The rainfall path attenuation at …

Satellite links operating at frequencies above 10 GHz in the tropics typically suffer severe
signal degradation due to rain. The study attempts to investigate the impacts of rain on the …

This letter investigates rain attenuation in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, by exploiting local drop
size distribution (DSD) measurements. Coefficients for the well-established power-law …

Satellite link design, link margin and services at lower bands of satellite spectrum has been
facing the challenges of meeting the demands for higher bandwidth requirements. Satellite …

This paper proposes a model for predicting rain attenuation in the tropical region. Slant path
rain attenuation measurements were carried out in Singapore by analyzing the beacon …

To meet the rising demand for uninterrupted high-speed broadband internet services, the
deployment of high-frequency bands for the transmission of radio signals is inevitable …
