The largest hydrometeor fade mechanism is rain fade and it is widely recognized to trigger outages on microwave links. Radio engineers and planners often use rain rate as a parameter to calculate and predict attenuation/fade on microwave links. Typically, rain rate distribution with 1 minute integration time is needed for predicting rain fade statistic. This paper presents the initial study of rainfall rates distribution obtained from EUMETSAT’s Multi-Sensor Precipitation Estimate (MPE) and attempts to simulate them with microwave links. Rainfall rate distributions collected from EUMETSAT’s MPE are compared with the ITU-R model and rain gauge data for corroboration purposes. Additionally, terrestrial microwave links are simulated from rainfall rates obtained from MPE and compared with ITU-R terrestrial fade model. 2015-07-29T16:40:08Z 2015-07-29T16:40:08Z 2015-07-30 Working Paper http://localhost/xmlui/handle/123456789/10563 en
