Carrier-to-interference ratio statistics of an Earth-space system interfered by an adjacent satellite system and a point-to-point microwave system under rain fades

The purpose of this paper is to present an analytical propagation model dealing with the prediction of the degradation of the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) of an Earth-space system, operating at frequency above 10 GHz, interfered by an adjacent satellite system and a point-to-point microwave system under rain fades. The dominant source of interference due to rain considered here is the differential rain attenuation.
