  • Abstract:

This paper presents the result of the prediction of transmission loss associated with intersystem interference due to hydrometeors using the modified Capsoni Three Dimension model when horizontally polarized super-high frequency signals propagates through thunderstorm rain type in Nigeria. The results obtained show that transmission loss increases with increasing terrestrial transmitter to common volume distance indicating decreasing probability of severe interference on the satellite system. Also, the frequency characteristics of the transmission loss when transmitter antenna gain is 45 dB and time percentage unavailability is greater or equal to 0.01% shows that transmission loss varies from 121.28 dB to 135.58 dB for short path lengths while for the long path lengths, it varies from 159.4 to 166.3 dB. The result of the received interference power is important for the design of microwave communication systems.
