This paper describes a methodology for analysis of dual linearly polarized radar data for the prediction of path attenuation at 10–30 GHz from long term point rainfall data. Detailed knowledge of the physical structure of precipitation in conjunction with scattering theory is used to provide attenuation predictions.
