Microwave Rain Attenuation

Rain attenuation and availability for a microwave path per ITU-R P.838-3 and P.530-19, against your fade margin.

Model: ITU-R P.838-3 specific attenuation γ = k·R^α (regression coefficients, any frequency, H/V/circular). ITU-R P.530-19 §2.4.1: A0.01 = γ·d·r with the distance factor r (eq 32), other time percentages by eq 34. Rain only, annual statistics — multipath fading is separate.
