The main propagation effect on interference between adjacent Earth-space paths is differential rain attenuation. In the present paper, a revised method to predict the rain differential attenuation statistics is proposed which is based on a model convective rain cell structure of the rainfall medium and the assumption that the point rainfall statistics follows a lognormal form. Moreover, the revised model analyzes the general problem of differential attenuation taking into account the difference of elevation angles of the slant paths under consideration. The numerical results are referred to the interference problem from an adjacent satellite located in symmetrical geostationary positions in relation to the intended satellite and examine the significance of the difference of elevation angles for various parameters of the problem. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1993
