Abstract:

This report discusses the effects of adverse weather conditions on a long air to ground data link. It includes attenuation due to rain and the degradation of antenna patterns caused by water film absorption on a radome and antenna feeds, and concludes that the link discussed falls about 7 dB short of the required margin for 1 of the year.
