heal.abstract	The dominant Propagation factor affecting the reliability of millimeter-wave fixed cellular systems operating at frequencies above 20 GHz is rain attenuation. Cell-site diversity is an available method to reduce the rain outage time for these systems. The subject of this paper is the presentation of an analytical procedure for the evaluation of the outage performance of a cell-site diversity system. Numerical results are compared with available experimental data taken from Canada and the U.K. The agreement was found to be quite encouraging. The dependence of cell-site diversity gain on climatic conditions is also investigated and some useful conclusions are deduced. © 2002 IEEE.	en
