Abstract

This paper presents here the results of the measurements of rain-induced attenuation in the vertically polarized signal propagating at 12.2525 GHz during some rain events, which occurred in the rainy wet season of the year 2001 at Yong-in, Korea(temperate climate). The attenuation measured experimentally was compared with that obtained using the International Telecommunication Union Radio Communication Sector(ITU-R) model, the SAM model and the Global model. In this paper, measured results are in good agreement with the ITU-R prediction.
