Abstract
In
June 1996, Working Party 3M of the ITU-R presented research
comparing the estimations of 10 rain attenuation models
with the 186 station years of earth-space propagation data
contained within the ITU-R database known as DBSG5. Now,
twenty-one station years of new data taken exclusively in
the Ka band (20.185 GHz and 27.505 GHz) across North America
are measured against many of those same models. Results
are presented both in terms of error statistics as well
as in comparison to the ITU database results.
