Satellite systems are one of the most effective ways to provide high-speed multimedia services. Use of higher frequency bands due to limited RF spectrum and the demand for high-speed services necessitates efficient countermeasure strategies for rain attenuation in the satellite link. This Recommendation presents an overview of these techniques, briefly describing guidance for planning the utilization of fade countermeasure techniques in the fixed-satellite service (FSS).
