Description

A python implementation of the ITU-P R.XXXX Recommendations to compute atmospheric attenuation in slant and horizontal paths. The propagation loss on an Earth-space path and a horizontal-path, relative to the free-space loss, is the sum of different contributions, namely: attenuation by atmospheric gases; attenuation by rain, other precipitation and clouds; scintillation and multipath effects; attenuation by sand and dust storms. Each of these contributions has its own characteristics as a function of frequency, geographic location and elevation angle. This package allows for fast, vectorial computation of the different contributions to the atmospheric attenuation.
