Summary:
Fade slope can be expressed the localized rain behavior using attenuation beacon data. This paper used Thaicom 2 and 3 beacon received in Thailand to represent rain occurrence in tropical areas and CS beacon received in Japan represents for temperate areas. Thaicom 2, 3 and CS beacon operated different frequency, the scaling formula from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) R P.618-12 [1] standard is used for the comparison. Thaicom beacon frequencies from 12.57 (Thaicom 2) and 12.59 (Thaicom3) GHz in the Ku band are scaling up to the similar of CS beacon at 19.45 GHz. Moreover, we derived the indicators such as standard deviation and skewness obtained from fade slope to confirm rain attenuation activities in both regions.
