Abstract :
The authors report experimental results on copolar and cochannel interference from adjacent satellites during rain obtained by measuring simultaneous rain attenuations in the 12 GHz band in two convergent slant paths to receivers located in the Fucino plain (Italy) from the geostationary satellites SIRIO (15°W) and OTS (10°E) in 1978-1980. The results presented here are directly applicable to the design of actual TV satellite broadcasting systems and they can be extrapolated to higher frequencies to design future satellite communication systems
