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 …

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 …

A two-year statistical study of cloud induced attenuation on Ka-band satellite communication
link in the tropical region is presented. Different from other publications, experimental results …

Site diversity is an effective rain attenuation mitigation technique, especially in the tropical
region where high rainfall rates are common. According to our previous study, site diversity …

Efforts in hydrometeorology are concentrated on finding the causes of the ground based
radar uncertainty sources for rainfall estimation recently. The error sources are interactions …

Unipolar ground-based weather radar has been a widely-used instrument for rainfall
measurement. These radar measurements however need to be calibrated for more accurate …

Radar-return echoes, known as 'reflectivity', are exploited in the course of estimating rain
attenuation along a slant path. Relevant radar gates or 'range bins' are identified to correlate …

The initial analysis concerning comparison between measured signal of RazakSAT's S-
band satellite link and radar derived attenuation using an S-band meteorological radar is …

Weather radar can offer synoptic measurement at a higher temporal and spatial resolution to
extract the rain information. Rainfall can be inverted from the radar reflectivity using the …

The investigation of deriving the Z-γ (reflectivity-specific attenuation) relation is critical in the
development of a novel rain attenuation prediction for a satellite link using radar information …
