heal.abstract	Site diversity is considered as an effective technique to mitigate fading due to rain in satellite communication networks. This paper reviews a site diversity prediction model incorporating the recently released ITU-R recommendations, which provide detailed statistics for the rain rate and the rain height. The results obtained are compared against experimental data with excellent results. A new prediction model for the site diversity improvement factor is proposed. © 2004 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.	en
