Measurement of rain attenuation of microwaves at 12.25GHz in Korea

Abstract

We present here the results of the measurements of rain-induced attenuation in the vertically polarized signal propagating at 12.25GHz during some rain events, which occurred in the rainy season of the year 2001 at Yongin, Korea. The attenuation measured experimentally was compared with that obtained using the International Telecommunication Union Radio Communication Sector (ITU-R) model, the SAM model and the Global model. Our measured results are in good agreement with the ITU-R prediction. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2005.
