Abstract :
The results of 7 years of experimental research of attenuation due to hydrometeors at 58 GHz with V polarization on an 850 m path are presented. Both the cumulative distributions of attenuation due to all the hydrometeors together and the cumulative distributions of attenuation due to the individual hydrometeors are given. The influence of the individual hydrometeors on attenuation is assessed. The cumulative distribution of rain attenuation obtained for the 7-year period of observation is compared with the one calculated for the average year in accordance with relevant ITU-R recommendations.
