Abstract :
Incoherent wave components generated by multiple scattering of waves in rain are calculated at several wavelengths in the microwave to millimetre region for medium and high rainfall rates. The results indicate that the incoherency effect may become a problem in radiocommunications at frequencies higher than 300 GHz.
