Rain attenuation predictions on terrestrial radio links: differential equations approach

The results of rain attenuation on terrestrial microwave links in a tropical climate has been reported in this paper. The results are presented in the form of rate of change of attenuation with respect to rain rate, denoted by S.R%p/. This is in turn used for predicting the expected rain attenuation...
