Abstract: The effect of rain in the design of satellite and terrestrial microwave radio links is of interest to Engineers and Scientists. It is good to have a reliable design that guarantees high level of accuracy of the rain rate distribution from the lowest rain rate value to the highest. The present work proposes a model that expresses rain rate as a function of alpha and beta obtained at 0.01% of time. When tested, the results obtained with the measurement perform well for the stations considered at a rain rated between 5mm/h to 200mm/h. Thus, , the empirical models that were obtained through them could be a useful tool for the radio design engineers for high rain rate areas.
