Özet

[1] The principal objective of a rain attenuation prediction method is to achieve acceptable estimates of the attenuation incurred on the signal due to rain. In this paper, a differential evolution (DE) based model for predicting rain attenuation in a terrestrial point-to-point line of sight (LOS) link at 97 GHz is proposed using previously available experimental data obtained in the southern United Kingdom. Rainfall rate and percentage of time are used as input data in the proposed prediction model. Excellent agreement between the experimental data and the model output indicates that the presented DE based method may efficiently be used for accurate prediction of the rain attenuation levels.
