Satellite communication is a promising transmission technique to implement 5G and beyond
networks. Attenuation due to rain begins at a frequency of 10 GHz in temperate regions …

The high frequencies of millimeter wave (mm-wave) bands have been recognized for the
fifth generation (5G) and beyond wireless communication networks. However, the radio …

The significance uses of Ka-Band and higher frequencies is due to high bandwidth demand
from internet users, nevertheless, these high frequencies are susceptible to attenuation …

The climatology of the tropics coupled with its deep convective evolution at the equatorial
troposphere has continued to draw significant attention to the effects of scintillation on …

In order to support future satellite broadcasting and communication in the Ka band and
above, the time diversity method provides a novel attenuation mitigation technique for …

Performances of earth-to-satellite microwave links operating in Ku, Ka, and V-bands are
degraded by the environment and strongly attenuated by rain. Rain attenuation is the most …

The analyses of rain models for satellite communication links of Ku and Ka bands in Lagos,
Nigeria is the focus of this paper. The choice of these frequency bands was informed by the …

Rain-induced attenuation above 10 GHz can be severe at heavy rain rates resulting in deep
fading, which can negatively impact the quality of receive signal level at the Earth station …

The tropospheric scintillation of satellite communication signals has continued to draw the
attention of radio engineers. The effect and prevalent paucity of Earth-space tropospheric …

In search of an accurate location-centric rain-induced attenuation model, in this paper, the
authors have investigated the measured attenuation and rainfall intensities at a few …
