  • Abstract
    In this paper, the statistical characterization of the effective rainfall rate parameter is investigated based on the cumulative distribution of measured signal attenuation in converging links with different path lengths, spatial orientations and operation frequencies. Results indicate that the lognormal distribution provides the best fit for the effective rainfall rate. Also, an empirical expression for the effective rainfall rate as a function of path length and link orientation was obtained.
