Abstract :
Measurements on a path 150m long, with narrow-beam transmitting and receiving antennas 2m above the ground at one end of the path, and a reflecting plate at the other end, at the same height, have shown attenuation in rain to be about 17dB/km and 8dB/km for rainfall rates of 48mm/h and 7mm/h, respectively. Amplitude variations of up to ±0.4dB can occur in a time interval of the order of 1s during sunny, humid conditions in summer.
