✦ Synopsis
One of the main propagation e!ects on interference between adjacent Earth}space paths is the di!erential rain attenuation. In the present paper, two existing copolar and cochannel satellite interference prediction models are compared with experimental data of this kind, derived from radar or attenuation measurements. The comparison shows a quite satisfactory agreement and this combined with the fact that the data refer to satellites quite displaced in the geostationary orbit leads to the following conclusion: the predictive models under consideration can be used not only for "xed satellite systems but also for mobile systems using general antennas with low gains.
