In order to reduce the complexity of current rain attenuation prediction models
a new auto-correlation rain attenuation prediction model is proposed. The model has the advantages of relatively simple structure and less computational consumption. The new model takes the advantage of the auto-correlation character of preamble dates
and computes the model parameters by minimizing the average error power. Then
the preamble data and model parameters are used to compute the rain attenuation at each frequency point in Ka band. Simulation results show that prediction precision varies with different prediction intervals and different amount of preamble data. The prediction error of the new model is less than 10
-5
dB in Ka band when the number of preamble data is 20 and the prediction interval is 0.05 GHz.
