Rain Attenuation Study at Ku-Band over Earth-Space Path in South Korea

Abstract

Rain attenuation measurement techniques are studied with appropriate prediction of rain attenuation at Ku-band for Koreasat 6. This is accomplished by the establishment of experimental setup in Mokdong at 12.25 GHz link. The databases are analyzed for three years, 2013 till 2015. During observation period, rainfall rate of 50 mm/hr is obtained which is measured by OTT Parsivel showing the signal attenuated by 10.7 dB for 0.01% of the occurrence. Comparison with the measured data demonstrates that the proposed technique provides sufficiently accurate estimation for Ku-band signal attenuation in site specifically whose effectiveness is performed through the statistical analysis against the established rain attenuation models. The proposed technique is judged through the error matrices where relative error margins of 52.82, 4.11, and 23.64% are obtained for 0.1%, 0.01%, and 0.001% of the occurrence.

Carbon nanotube–reinforced polymer composite for electromagnetic interference application: A review

“…A higher EMI SE level indicates that a lesser energy is transmitted through the shield material. A shielding material with 20 dB EMI SE can block 99% of the incoming radiation; hence, this value is required for commercial applications [110,111].…”

Research and application of satellite communication rainfall attenuation management system

“…Like other wireless communication systems, satellite communication systems have a variety of signal attenuation, of which the impact of space signal attenuation is difficult to improve [1]. In sunny days, there will be spatial signal attenuation, which will increase in rainy and snowy days, and Ku band with higher frequency will be more affected by rainfall [6]. Therefore, how to reduce the impact of rainfall attenuation and ensure the quality of satellite communication links has become our research goal.…”

Miniaturized Wideband Antenna Prototype Operating over the Ku-Band

“…The novelty of the proposed system lies in the elimination of expensive substrates, demonstrating a cost-effective solution for wideband antenna design. The Ku-band-operated antenna prototype is applicable in the fields of microwave and satellite communication links [ 28 , 29 , 30 ]. The proposed antenna design was verified by simulation using CST Microwave Studio [ 31 ] and compared against the experimental data.…”
