heal.abstract	Rain attenuation is considered to be a dominant factor affecting the reliability of both terrestrial and earth-to-satellite paths operating at frequencies above 10 GHz. The subject of the present paper is the development of some efficient models for the prediction of the operational characteristics (such as the path enlargement factor, accumulation thermal noise, site diversity improvement) of microwave systems operating at these frequencies. The numerical results taken from the present models have been compared with available experimental data from operated links in USA, Europe, Japan and the agreement has been found to be quite encouraging. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.	en
