heal.abstract	The ever increasing demand for high date rate multimedia services has led to the deployment of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) networks operating in frequencies above 10GHz. Propagation characteristics of such networks include line-of-sight (LOS) transmissions highly influenced by the presence of rain. In this paper a methodology for evaluating the outage probability of a FWA channel is introduced, making use of the forward scattering amplitude by distorted raindrops of transmitted signals. Expressions for the imaginary part of the scattering amplitude are derived through a regression fitting analysis on the results of the Method of Auxiliary Sources (MAS) to the problem of electromagnetic scattering from a Pruppacher-Pitter raindrop. These expressions are employed and an analytical method to evaluate the rain attenuation exceedance probability over a fixed wireless access link is presented. The derived exceedance probabilities are compared with experimental data from ITU-R databank with encouraging results. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2006.	en
