Abstract :
It is shown that the simple technique called the `path reduction coefficient¿ can be widely used to predict rain attenuation on terrestrial radio links due to the good agreement obtained between measured and calculated attenuation, mainly for low percentages of time. Comparisons between the presented method and the method adopted by the CCIR are given.
