Abstract :
Electromagnetic propagation through sparse distribution of lossy dielectric particles in a rain is investigated. Mathematical model is developed to aid in the interpretation of the interactions data obtained by electromagnetic remote probing of rain. Attenuation is computed, for waves passing through raindrops specified size, shape and distributions. Computer simulation which is based on the model proposed with different shapes was compared with the experimental data, and excellent agreement was obtained.
