The effect of rain on the field at a point irradiated by a microwave antenna is found, in contrast with previous work, to be effectively independent of the parameters of the antenna. The standard Fresnel zone criterion for the ‘active rain volume’ has been extended to treat rain in the near field of the antenna.
