Abstract

The attenuation of sub‐millimeter wave by rain medium is related to raindrops' spectrum and attenuation cross‐section. It is established about the model of raindrop attenuation cross‐section based on MP raindrop size distribution. The attenuation curves are described in 360, 400, and 480 GHz. The results show the model's parameters are in good agreement with the references. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
