Validation of the Synthetic Storm Technique as Part of a Time-Series Generator for Satellite Links

This letter presents results on the suitability of the so-called synthetic storm technique (SST) for simulating signal attenuation time-series in a V-band satellite link. The focus is on both single rain events and the overall statistical behavior. Signal attenuation time-series can be used in compu...

Description
Summary:This letter presents results on the suitability of the so-called synthetic storm technique (SST) for simulating signal attenuation time-series in a V-band satellite link. The focus is on both single rain events and the overall statistical behavior. Signal attenuation time-series can be used in computer simulations which shall help optimize fade mitigation techniques in wireless millimeter- wave communication systems where rain is the dominant source of signal attenuation. In this letter, the investigations reported are based on measured 40-GHz satellite beacon attenuation time-series.
