Rain attenuation prediction for higher frequencies in microwave communication using frequency scaling technique

At a frequency range above 5 GHz, rainfall becomes a serious and major source of attenuation for microwave communication. Atmospheric effects play a major role in designing terrestrial or satellite-to-earth links operating at frequencies above 5 GHz. Raindrops absorb and scatter radio waves, leadi...

Atmospheric effects play a major role in designing terrestrial or satellite-to-earth links operating at frequencies above 5 GHz.

All the measured data of rain attenuation for the above operating frequencies are presented. The equation of power n value for all percentage of time at certain operating frequency was identified. The results show that the proposed new power n =1.57 closely agreed with the predicted and measured rain attenuation for all the three frequency range (5.8, 15 and 26 GHz).
