Synthetized tropospheric total attenuation time series for satellite-to-aeronautical link from L to Q band

The synthetized attenuation time series together with the Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function of attenuation values play a crucial role for the design and validation of communication systems. ITU-R recommendations propose different models to characterize the channels. In particular, the ITU-R P1853 recommendation proposes a methodology for the synthesis of attenuation time series for ground stations. Starting from this recommendation and combining further recommendations and external models, this manuscript proposes a synthetized time series of the total attenuation for airborne platforms. The synthetized time series includes the combination of platform movements in the three dimensions of space and in the microwave frequency range between 1 to 50 GHz.
