The Influence of Meteorological Phenomena on Modern Satellite Systems

Abstract

The areas of attention, described in this paper, extend throughout the modern satellite systems. Future satellite systems are to be planned for the millimeter band, which has greater weather attenuation effects than until now used bands. This paper provides a brief overview of propagation factors on millimeter-band earth-satellite paths and requirements in relation to the need for specific types of propagation data.
