Diversity systems are foreseen for earth to satellite links operating at frequencies above 10 GHz in localities with high rain‐induced attenuation. The paper discusses orbital diversity, which uses two satellites and an earth receiving site. A recently suggested model for the prediction of site diversity performance is properly modified by considering the particular geometry of the present problem. Both types of rain (stratified and convective raincells) are also examined. Numerical results are compared with experimental data taken from a simulated earth‐space system located in Italy. The agreement was found to be quite encouraging.
