Abstract

Results are given of the analysis of several gears of radiometric measurements in the European region, carried out by the European Space Agency. Special attention is given to the attenuation statistics of the worst month in a calendar year and its relation to the yearly statistics. A total of 30 independent worstmonth fading distributions were used in the analysis. Furthermore, fade duration, diurnal variation and frequency dependence of fades are analysed.

Analyse

Pour l’Europe, on donne les résultats de l’analyse de plus ieurs années, de mesures radiométriques sur l’instigation de l’Agence Spatiale Européenne. On s’intéresse particulièrement aux statistiques d’affai blissements, pendant le mois le plus rnauvais au cours d’une année et aux relations existant avec les statistiques annuelles. Un total de 30 distributions d’évanouissements pour les mois les plus mauvais est utilisé dans cette étude. De plus on analyse la durée des évanouissements, les variations diurnes et l’influence de la fréquerice.
