Abstract: In this paper we will present the fundamental information about the international research project COST IC0802, which is the point of reference in this study. “The main benefit of this […] COST Action will be (prepare – note J.W.) the integrated assessment of the radio channel issues relevant to a GIN providing communication, positioning, meteorology and remote sensing services. Concrete outputs will include a set of required dedicated models and tools, as well as a common experimental database of measured results suitable for modelling, validation and system simulation” [1]. The article covers attenuation of satellite line-of-sight radio links according as rain intensity, frequency and polarization of radiowaves in the region of Kielce city in Poland in accordance with the recommendations of ITU. The long-term 1-min average rain-rate characteristics was estimated to be 34,4 mm/h. Collected data were used to determine the impact of the rainfall intensity, polarization and radio waves frequency – including the frequencies used in a group of satellite Hot Bird – on the quality of received satellite signal in this area (the chosen experimental data are presented).
