Abstract :
Propagation in the millimeter-wave band has been analyzed using experimental measurements on three terrestrial links working at 38, 75 and 85 GHz carried out in Madrid, Spain. Rain attenuation is the most relevant impairment in such band. Statistics obtained from experimental attenuation time series have been compared with several model predictions. The experimental drop size distributions provided by a disdrometer and a 24 GHz Doppler radar have been used to estimate rain attenuation.
