Abstract :
The worst month statistics of rainfall rate and rain attenuation at 11 GHz are studied for the Assam valley, situated in the world´s highest rainfall zone, using an LOS (3.2 km) microwave link of the PS&T Department, Government of India. The relation between the worst month and yearly probabilities of these parameters is presented. The observed relation is verified in the light of the Crane-Debrunner and Brussaard-Watson semi-empirical models. A comparative study on this aspect, with the results published from Japan, is given
