Summary :

The main propagation effect on interference between a satellite system and an adjacent microwave terrestrial path is the differential rain attenuation. In the present paper, a prediction method for the differential rain attenuation statistics is proposed which is based on a model convective rain-cell structure of the rainfall medium. The assumption that the point rainfall statistics follows a lognormal form is also adopted. The results of the predictive procedure are compared with the only available set of experimental data taken from Yokosuka, Japan. The agreement has been found to be quite reasonable.
