Abstract :
Positive and negative rates of change of attenuation are studied jointly with the in-between fade duration using Sirio 11.6 GHz beacon four-year data for several attenuation thresholds, collected in northern Italy. The letter shows that the rate conditional distributions are log-normal, and that little correlation exists between negative and positive rates and durations.
