Abstract :
The rain attenuation from 1 to 1000 GHz was calculated by using a Weibu11 distribution for raindrop-size, which was assumed to be caused by coalescence, drop break-up and a chain reaction process. The results showed a good agreement with the recent microwave measurements from 8 to 312.5 GHz.
