Comparison Of Rain Attenuation Models For Tropical Climate

The influence of rainfall on radio wave propagation at frequencies above 10 GHz is essential for satellite communication, especially in tropical regions as a result of the high intensity rainfall. Besides, annual and worst month‟s cumulative statistics are needed to give the detailed insights for sy...

description The influence of rainfall on radio wave propagation at frequencies above 10 GHz is essential for satellite communication, especially in tropical regions as a result of the high intensity rainfall. Besides, annual and worst month‟s cumulative statistics are needed to give the detailed insights for system design. A three years (from 1st January 2006 until 31st December 2008) rainfall rate and rain attenuation measurement was conducted in Nibong Tebal, Engineering Campus of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) (Latitude: 5.170N and Longitude: 100.40E). The cumulative distributions of one-minute rain rate, rain attenuation and worst month statistics analyzed from the USM measured data are presented and compared with existing prediction models.
