  • Abstract
    In the letter, use has been made of the exponential model to estimate average worst-month time percentages from sets of 36 monthly cumulative distributions of rain rate and from 48 ones of 11.6 GHz slant-path attenuation. It is shown that even with such limited data meaningful statistics can be obtained demonstrating the usefulness of this model.
