Abstract

In this paper, rainfall attenuation suffered by a Ku band signal was measured with a receiver located at Anna University’s MIT campus and used to verify the accuracy of the ITU R model in the Chennai region. The rainfall statistics were applied to the appropriate ITU R model and the differences between the experimental and observed results for the attenuation suffered by the system have been documented and tabulated.
