Attenuation measurements from two Ku- and a Ka-band satellite beacon signals in a tropical site, Singapore are presented. A new Z–R relationship (Z = 61.75 · R1.61) is derived using rainfall rate data from rain gauge. Rainfall rates predicted from Radar data using the proposed relationship and the S...
