Abstract
AbstractA campaign of measurements in Indonesia has been carried out according to a co‐operation agreement concluded between the Indonesian and French Administrations with the aim of estimating rain attenuation on slant paths. The experiment was planned using two earth‐stations, at Cibinong and Padang, both receiving a Ku‐band beacon from an INTELSAT V satellite, coupled with rain‐rate measurements at a number of sites.Rain‐rate statistics are given for several locations in the Indonesian Archipelago. Cumulative distributions of attenuation and simultaneous rain rate, obtained at the earth‐stations, are presented. The analysis of the results has led to the proposal of an adaptation of the CCIR attenuation prediction method for low latitudes.
