Abstract
In Poland wave attenuation measurements in the Earth-space path, operating at 11.5 GHz, have been carried on simultaneously with the rain rate measurements, accomplished under the propagation path in five spaced out sites. Moreover the accuracy of prediction models, used for prediction of attenuation due to rain, was evaluated. The obtained results are presented in the paper.
Résumé
Des mesures ďaffaiblissement de ľonde sur une liaison Terre-satellite fonctionnant à 11,5 GHz ont été effectuées à ľInstitut de Télécommunications (de Varsovie) simultanément avec les mesures ďintensité de la pluie en cinq sites situés sous le trajet de propagation. A partir de ces résultats, la précision de quelques modèles de prévision de ľaffaiblissement dû à la pluie a été évaluée. Les résultats obtenus sont présentés dans cet article.
