Frequency scaling of rain attenuation based on 4-year statistics obtained on two parallel terrestrial paths at 58 GHz and 93 GHz

Abstract

Long-term statistics of hydrometeor attenuation obtained on two experimental parallel terrestrial paths at 58 GHz and 93 GHz with the same path length of 850 m are presented. The statistics of rain attenuation obtained are used for the frequency scaling. Several methods are tested and the results obtained are discussed.
