Three salient factors governing attenuation of 11-GHz waves propagating through rain on a terrestrial radio path are discussed: magnitude of attenuation as a function of rain rate, relationship between attenuation and path length, and dependence of attenuation on polarization. Background material is given pertinent to the companion papers in this issue which develop procedures useful for radio system design.
