Abstract
Proper design of reliable millimeter-wave communications links that operate on paths through the atmosphere requires an understanding of atmospheric transmission losses, especially losses due to rainfall attenuation. This paper combines information on transmission properties of millimeter waves with meteorological data to derive a methodology useful to the design engineer. Emphasis is on high-reliability communications in which outages are 0.1 percent or less.
