Electronics Nuclear engineering The planning of radio communications system requires an estimate of the average annual outage due to fading, which at millimeter wavelengths, is generally dominated by the effects of rain attenuation. Current ITU-R recommendations provide algorithm for estimating the exceedance static of rain-induced attenuation on terrestrial links.
