Fade slope analysis for Ku-band earth-space communication links in Malaysia
Heavy precipitation severely degrades the performance of satellite communication systems operating at frequencies higher than 10 GHz. For the implementation of effective countermeasures, rain attenuation statistics are needed, second order statistics in particular. Here, the characteristics of rain...

| Summary: | Heavy precipitation severely degrades the performance of satellite communication systems operating at frequencies higher than 10 GHz. For the implementation of effective countermeasures, rain attenuation statistics are needed, second order statistics in particular. Here, the characteristics of rain fade slope are extensively investigated, exploiting one year of Ku-band attenuation measurements collected in Malaysia. |
