  • Abstract
    Based on a large data bank of rain rate time series, we have simulated a large data bank of rain attenuation time series at 18.7 GHz in slant paths to Italsat (13.2° E), circular polarisation, with the Synthetic Storm Technique (SST). The paper shows that 4 years of data can predict long term (~ 10 years) rain attenuation probability distributions with an average error practically zero, and an RMS in the range 2 ~ 6% in the probability range 0.0001–0.01.
