At a frequency range above 5 GHz, rainfall becomes a serious and major source of attenuation for microwave communication. Atmospheric effects play a major role in designing terrestrial or satellite-to-earth links operating at frequencies above 5 GHz. Raindrops absorb and scatter radio waves, leading...
