Radio waves are attenuated by atmospheric phenomena such as snow, rain, dust, clouds,
and ice, which absorb radio signals. Signal attenuation becomes more severe at extremely …

Propagation impairment due to rain is one of the most critical considerations for satellite
communication (Satcom) links above 10 GHz. The existing studies at tropical and equatorial …

Rain attenuation is a major source of impairment to signal propagation at microwave and
millimeter wave bands. The procedures for the estimation of rain attenuation value regard to …

Abstract The Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model is
proposed for Osun State monthly rainfall data and the analysis was based on probability …

This study proposes a new rain attenuation prediction model (RAM) based on the rain cell
concept for tropical locations. The new model addresses the research gap in the …

Rain rate and rain attenuation predictions are vital when designing microwave satellite and
terrestrial communication links, such as in the Ku and Ka bands. This paper presents the …

Rain rate statistics is required for planning both satellite and terrestrial links, especially in the
microwave and millimeter wave bands. Presented in this work is the one-minute rain rate …

Metrological Agency (TMA) collected for a period of forty years. The results which were
obtained were used to estimate rain attenuations. By using the International …

In this paper, validation of rain climatic zone classifications for Nigeria is presented based on
global radio-climatic models by the International Telecommunication Union …

The loss of digital satellite television content to the prevailing impact of rain is still a major
concern to satellite operators, television content providers and subscribers as well. In this …
