Abstract :
Using the JCSAT-IB satellite and several VSATs installed at three different locations approximately 100 km away from each other, experimental rainfall effects on Ku-band satellite channels have been studied. Worst monthly and yearly distributions of Ku-band rain attenuation and their relation at those locations are discussed.
