  • Satellite communication system having mitigation action for rain fade and associated method
    Patent number: 10826598
    Abstract: A satellite communication system may include a terrestrial station and a satellite having a communication link therebetween. The terrestrial station may include a controller and a transceiver cooperating therewith and configured to determine a degradation of the communication link, obtain satellite-derived, rainfall rate and rainfall height data, and determine a rain fade for the communication link based upon the satellite-derived, rainfall rate and rainfall height data. When the degradation of the communication link is caused by the rain fade, the controller determines a mitigation action for the satellite and communicates the mitigation action to the satellite.
