Comparison of hydrometeor attenuation on parallel terrestrial paths at 58 GHz and 93 GHz

The results of 3-year experimental research of attenuation due to hydrometeors at 58 GHz and 93 GHz parallel terrestrial paths are given. The obtained cumulative distributions of attenuation due to all the hydrometeors combined, monthly cumulative distributions of attenuation due to all the hydrometeors combined, cumulative distributions of attenuation due to the individual hydrometeors separately, and cumulative distributions of rain intensities are given. The influence of individual hydrometeors on attenuation is analysed. The obtained cumulative distribution of attenuation due to rain only is compared with the calculated one in accordance with the relevant ITU-R recommendations.
