Abstract
Site diversity is considered as an effective technique to mitigate fading due to rain in satellite communication networks. This paper reviews a site diversity prediction model incorporating the recently released ITU‐R recommendations, which provide detailed statistics for the rain rate and the rain height. The results obtained are compared against experimental data with excellent results. A new prediction model for the site diversity improvement factor is proposed.
