Many works have been conducted relevant to rainfall measurements, while the first relevant
ones were based on the power loss estimation function from wireless links located back to …

A study of the raindrop size distribution along the eastern coast of South Africa (Durban) is
presented. The Biweight kernel estimator based on distometer measurement is used to …

Network fade countermeasures for link budget can be better implemented based on the
knowledge of seasonal variability of rainfall attenuation in a locality. Therefore, in this study …

This study proposes a new rain attenuation prediction model (RAM) based on the rain cell
concept for tropical locations. The new model addresses the research gap in the …

Raindrop sizes were obtained from Butare, Rwanda (2.6° S, 29.74° E) and Durban, South
Africa (29° 52′ S, 30° 58′ E) using the Joss–Waldvogel RD-80 disdrometer. The obtained …

Rainfall attenuation mitigation is one of the important design factors considered in the
deployment of outdoor wireless 5G networks, especially in the provision of services …

In this study, parameters of statistical models for estimating the rainfall specific attenuation in
Durban, South Africa are derived. The rainfall data in this work are based on 2-year …

The knowledge of rain-induced scattering and attenuation parameters is required in the
optimum design of both ground and space-based communication systems. Free-falling …

This paper focuses on study of attenuation of microwave propagation at Ka-band
frequencies due to precipitation over an Indian Tropical station, Thiruvananthapuram (8.5° …

In radio propagation, modelling of rainfall rate, rain attenuation and drop size distribution is
highly location-dependent and thus requires availability of reliable data from various …
