Primary and secondary statistics of rain attenuation and rain rate measured on a satellite-to-Earth path in Indonesia

Results of a three-year propagation measurement campaign at Ku-band (11/14 GHz) in Surabaya, Indonesia are presented. These include primary (cumulative distributions of measured total attenuation, derived attenuation, and rainfall) and secondary (diurnal variations) statistics. Furthermore, a comparison is made between the results and predictions based on the ITU-R (formerly CCIR) models.
