heal.abstract	The reliable design of satellite communication systems requires the consideration of interference effects. Interference caused by differential rain attenuation from an adjacent earth-space system is taken under consideration here. In particular, a method to predict rain differential attenuation statistics used for single/double site earth-space systems is er;tended to include triple-she diversity ones. The modified method is again based on a model of convective rain cells as well as on the lognormal assumption for the point rainfall rate distribution at the location under consideration. In an analogous fashion with the (C/N) ratio, a << (C/I) diversity gain >> is also adopted here and some very useful remarks concerning the effectiveness of the triple-site diversity protection as a countermeasure technique are deduced. As a general conclusion, it can be stated that the triple-site scheme not only reduce the potential large attenuation margins significantly; but also leads to the establishment of the minimum separation between satellites operating under permitted interference levels.	en
