Ice crystals and raindrop canting angle effects applied to satellite interference prediction with respect to heavy rain climatic zones

摘要

For frequencies above 10GHz the performance of the operating satellite systems is mainly aggravated because of the potential existing severe rain attenuation. As a result of the above fading mechanism, the dominant interference sources encountered in this frequency band are the following: differential rain attenuation induced by an adjacent satellite system operating in the same fre- quency, and cross talk between orthogonally polarized signales.
