Analysis Of One-Year Data Of Slant Path Rain Attenuation At 19 And 39 Ghz In Prague

Attenuation time series measured on the satellite-to-ground path in Prague in frequency bands 19 and 39 GHz and simultaneously measured rain intensity are analyzed statistically using one-year dataset. Frequency scaling is described by linear models. Empirical power law models are fitted to the measured data directly and to the obtained annual cumulative distributions. Monthly statistics obtained shows the worst months in terms of rain attenuation. Fade slope and fade duration cumulative distributions are determined and discussed.
