ITU-R P.1853-1 2 Rain attenuation time series synthesis method 2.1 Overview The time series synthesis method assumes that the long-term statistics of rain attenuation is a log-normal distribution. While the ITU-R rain attenuation prediction methods in Recommendation ITU-R P.530 for t

15、errestrial paths and Recommendation ITU-R P.618 for Earth-space paths are not exactly log-normal, these rain attenuation distributions are well-approximated by a log-normal distribution over the most significant range of exceedance probabilities. The terrestrial and Earth-space rain attenuation pred

16、iction methods predict non-zero rain attenuation for exceedance probabilities greater than the probability of rain; however, the time series synthesis method adjusts the attenuation time series so the rain attenuation corresponding to exceedance probabilities greater than the probability of rain is

17、0 dB. For terrestrial paths, the time series synthesis method is valid for frequencies between 4 GHz and 40 GHz and path lengths between 2 km and 60 km. For Earth-space paths, the time series synthesis method is valid for frequencies between 4 GHz and 55 GHz and elevation angles between 5 and 90. Th

Interfade duration statistics are also reproduced but only within individual attenuation events. As shown in Fig. 1, the rain atten
