  • Abstract
    Numerical results of extrapolating the point rain-rate distribution to lower and higher rain rates using a log-normal approximation have shown insensitivity to the total probability P0 which depends on the ambiguous definition of when it is raining. The proposed extrapolation technique will be useful in microwave communication system engineering.
