Abstract :
The paper deals with the future use of the 20/30 GHz satellite communications band, especially with regard to small earth terminals. The 20/30 GHz bands are attractive for private link applications, but are subject to large signal attenuations in the presence of rainfall. Methods to overcome the rain attenuation, known as fade counter-measures, are investigated
