The simultaneity of rain attenuation experienced by very distant Earth terminals was recently recognised as an important topic to be investigated in view of future planning of advanced satellite systems using a common on-board resource (extra on-board power, steerable spot beams, burst length control etc.). Results obtained from the analysis of simultaneous fadings at 11.6 GHz, during the SIRIO SHF experiment, by the three Italian earth stations are presented here and briefly discussed.

Inspec keywords: tropospheric electromagnetic wave propagation; rain; microwave links; radiowave propagation

Other keywords: advanced satellite systems; Ghz 0011.6; SIRIO; burst length control; fadings; SHF; steerable spot beams; on-board resource; rain attenuation observations; 11.6 GHz

Subjects: Water in the atmosphere (humidity, clouds, evaporation, precipitation); Electromagnetic wave propagation and interactions in the lower atmosphere; Radiowave propagation; Satellite communication systems
