Validation of the Mie theory for rain attenuation at 72 and 84 GHz

This paper presents the Mie theory for propagation loss resulting from atmosphere scattering and absorption for W/V frequency bands. The theory will be validated using experiment data collected on a 23-km test and measurement range, which is instrumented with an unmodulated transmitter, a receiver, and several meteorology instruments. This research is crucial for understanding signal propagation phenomena and enabling the utilization of the W/V-bands for satellite communication.
