Comparison of radar derived rain attenuation with the RazakSAT’s X-Band link signal measurement

Abstract—The preliminary analysis involving comparison between radar derived attenuation using an S-band meteorological radar and measured signal of RazakSAT’s X-band satellite link is presented. The radar data employed was attained from the Malaysian Meteorological Department’s (MMD) terminal...
