Characterization of Rain Attenuation and Depolarization at W/V-bands Part II
Abstract
Characterization of Rain Attenuation and Depolarization at W/V-bands Abstract The objective of this research is to continue the investigation characterization of rain attenuation at the W/V frequency bands (81 – 86 GHz and 71 -76 GHz, respectively). This research would result in improved models to predict path attenuation, phase distortion, and depolarization of electromagnetic signals transmitted at these frequencies. This work would also enable development of new high-gain antennas that could operate at these frequencies. The expected results would also help in the validating and refining predictive models by statistical characterization of model parameters. This fundamental research would support development of next-generation wide-band commercial communications capability. This research could also be applicable to future military satellite communications.
