Implementation of ARIMA model to predict Rain Attenuation for KU-band 12 Ghz Frequency

Abstract

Satellite communication systems operating at Ka band and Ku band frequencies must affect the problem of propagation impairments which includes fading due to rain, clouds, snow for obtaining the required performance. Rain affects the signal most and involved is absorption & scattering. Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model is used to generate and predict the time series values for rain attenuation. The predicted values obtained for different window size of the ARIMA model and analysis is done in terms of error matrix
