Abstract
Rain attenuation measurements of 19 GHz were made on four tandem links at Musashino district near Tokyo. This paper discusses the characteristics of rain fade probabilities on tandem links. A multiplicative factor which reduces the worst case estimate of adaptive probabilities developed. This factor increases (approaches 1) as the rain attenuation becomes deeper. The measured modification factor at a rain attenuation of 30 dB was about 0.81 on four tandem links, 0.82 on three tandem links, and 0.88 on two tandem links. It has a tendency to saturate with an increase in the number of links.
