Drop Size Distributions (DSDs) measured with an optical disdrometer in Madrid during 5 years are used to derive the copolar attenuation (CPA) and cross polarization discrimination (XPD) at 19.7 and 39.4 GHz. A full wave Method of Moments (MoM) is utilized to calculate specific attenuation and phase rotation through a realistic scattering raindrop model for large raindrops. The best-fit parameters...
Reliable estimates of satellite channel characteristics are of great importance for satellite communications, especially with use of even higher frequencies as Ka-band and in near future Q- and V-band. At a given rain rate the shape of rain drop size distributions (DSDs) considerably influences the corresponding specific attenuation. In previous work it was shown, that annual DSD statistics give evidence...
