Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The long-term rain attenuation statistics of cumulative time percentages are obtained from Ku band satellite signal observations conducted at Osaka Electro-Communication University in Neyagawa, Osaka, during the past 32 years from 1988 to 2019. The long-term statistics for the latter 13 years after 2006 indicate the cumulative time percentages that considerably exceed those of the ITU-R predictions. The increasing rates of the statistics are caused by the increase of equivalent path lengths due to those of the horizontal reduction factor and vertical adjustment factor in the ITU-R predictions. The increase of the vertical adjustment factor up to the ratio of 1.36 is found to be related to that of average equivalent path length in each rainfall event, while the increase of horizontal reduction facto up to the radio of 1.10 is found to be related to that of duration time of 5 dB attenuation. With these corrections of the horizontal reduction factor and the vertical adjustment factor, the ITU-R predictions show a good agreement of the cumulative timer percentages observed during 2007-2019.
