Abstract :
Oxygen radiowave attenuation on slant paths is studied. A simple method for the prediction of oxygen attenuation on a slant path developed for the frequency range 10-50 GHz is discussed. The required input parameters for the method are temperature and pressure at the ground level. The method is valid up to 50 GHz, but it can be used with reduced accuracy up to 57 GHz.<>
