A Predictor Model for SHF and EHF MILSATCOM System Availabilities in the Presence of Rain.

Abstract

A numerical method for computing MILSATCOM system availability based on predicted link availability is described. Link availability can be computed in the model for frequencies of 10-50 GHz, arbitrary geostationary satellite subpoint, and arbitrary value of link margin in dB. Computed availability contours are plotted on a Mercator grid of the world. (Author)
