heal.abstract	Atmospheric impairments have a significant influence on the performance of modern satellite communication networks, working at Ku, Ka and potentially Q/V frequency bands. Both differential rain attenuation from an adjacent satellite system, operating at the same frequency range, and cross-polarization phenomena on dual polarized satellite systems due to rain and ice crystals, induce a further aggravation on the already limited signal-to-noise-plus-total-interference ratio (CNIDR), due to the frequency and orbital congestion of today's global communication satellite constellation. In the present paper, a new statistical methodology, towards the modelling of CNIDR under rain fade conditions, is proposed to include interference effects by two adjacent satellites, incorporating the impact of correlated fading channels (spatial rainfall inhomogeneity) of multiple slant paths. The method is based on a convective raincell model and the lognormal assumption for both the point rain-rate statistics and the slant-path rain attenuation. The obtained numerical results indicate the significant impact of the second interfering satellite on the aggravation of total interference effects. Some simple mathematical formulas for the prediction of the CNIDR, based on the derived theoretical results, and demonstrating the influence of various link parameters on the total link availability statistics, are also presented.
