COMSTAR Satellite 19/29 GHz Propagation Experiment.

Abstract

Results and analysis are presented for the 19/29-GHz satellite propagation experiments using beacons aboard the COMSTAR series. Emphasis is on diversity performance of the Tampa, Florida, Triad and single-site attenuation distributions in intense rain, and on single-site performance at Waltham, Massachusetts. The substantial data base evolved to show a flattish tail on distributions due to rapid rate-of-change at onset and recovery; this type of distribution found in Tampa rain environment was not found in Waltham.
