Software for rain gauge data analysis for path diversity IP radio-relay networks above 70GHz planning

This paper describes software for rain gauges network data analysis for above 70GHz IP digital radio-relay links network planning. The rain gauges type is tipping bucket with time-stamp logging for each tip. The new algorithm for temporal-spatial rain intensity distribution is described which, at long term timescale, optimizes computer memory resources and remove unnatural values of rain intensity that could occur as result of interpolation process. The results are used for individual link rain attenuation calculation. Results of experimental data analysis from 21 rain gauge network which is installed on geographic area of 20 × 20 km are shown.
