Analysis of the synthetic storm technique using rain height models to predict rain attenuation in tropical regions

This paper aims to investigate the utilization of the Synthetic Storm Technique to convert rain rate time series to rain attenuation time series using the ITU-R P.839, Stutzman and Bryant rain height models. Furthermore, the study aims to compare the actual rain attenuation with that predicted b...
