The effect of rain attenuation becomes significant for satellites operating at 10 GHz and above. This has become a matter of concern, especially in tropical regions where relatively heavy rainfall occurs throughout the year. Orbital diversity (OD) is seen to be a viable method to mitigate rain att...
