Ka-band satellite communication system has some advantages including a large bandwidth, a huge capacity, a narrow beam, a small terminal size, which makes it a trend in future satellite communications. However, the system is now faced with great challenge-meteorological factors, which aroused suspicion among researchers about its realization. In this paper, the feature of rain fade is analyzed and several compensation methods are presented.

Communication Signal

The progressively demand on satellite communication systems has consequently resulted in lower frequency bands getting more congested. The usage of frequency band beyond 10 GHz is in focus nowadays as a result of the rapid expansion of radio communication systems. However, Rain is the leading attenuation factor of different communication signal of frequencies beyond 10 GHz. Attenuation due to rain has a significant propagation effect that needs to be carefully considered in satellite communication system network. Rain attenuation predictions and rain rate are essential when planning microwave satellite communication links.  A review of the rain rate integration time and rain attenuation models for microwave and millimeter bands satellite system is presented.  Keywords: Frequency Band, Rain Attenuation, Rain Attenuation Model, Rain Rate, Satellite System
