            Abstract : 
Monte Carlo simulations are performed numerically to characterize the behavior of both the forward and backward scattered fields for a millimeter source different rain media. Especial attention is given to long-distance wave propagation in such media. Numerical simulations are performed at high millimeter-wave frequencies using distorted Born approximation in conjunction with single scattering for rain droplets for a narrow beam radar whereby both the radar within the rain medium.
