Analyses of worst-month rain fade statistics for Ku-band (26GHz) in the tropics
ITU proposes that the fraction of time during which a pre-selected threshold is exceeded in the worst-month within a year is referred to as “the annual worst-month time fraction of excess”. This relates directly to situation where accumulation of outages at a specific threshold in one specific m...

| Summary: | ITU proposes that the fraction of time during which a
pre-selected threshold is exceeded in the worst-month within a
year is referred to as “the annual worst-month time fraction of
excess”. This relates directly to situation where accumulation of
outages at a specific threshold in one specific month has the
worse effect on the transmission link than if compared to the
accumulation that were distributed throughout the year. “Worstmonth”
is basically where the threshold is exceeded for the
longest time. The study of the worst-month statistics is critical to
the designers of telecommunication systems since there might be
cases where impairment can be dominated by a single month of
the year due to local weather pattern |
