Rainfall measurement from the opportunistic use of an Earth–space link in the Ku band

The present study deals with the development of a low-cost microwave device devoted to the measurement of average rain rates observed along Earth–satellite links, the latter being characterized by a tropospheric path length of a few kilometres. The ground-based power measurements, which are made usi...
