4-year hydrometeor attenuation statistics obtained at 93 GHz on an 850 m terrestrial path

The results of 4-year experimental research of hydrometeor attenuation at 93 GHz on an 850 m terrestrial path are presented. The obtained cumulative distributions of attenuation due to all the hydrometeors combined, monthly cumulative distributions of attenuation combined over the 4-year period, cumulative distributions of attenuation due to the individual hydrometeors separately over the 4-year period, and the cumulative distributions of rain intensities are given. The influence of individual hydrometeors on attenuation is analysed. The obtained cumulative distribution of attenuation due to rain only is compared with the calculated one in accordance with the ITU-R recommendation.
