ABSTRACT
The mechanism of propagation of electromagnetic waves can be approached in different ways. Because
all radio waves behave similarly in propagation space, predicting signal degradation due to hydrometeors,
abnormal refraction, and the study of selective fading can be done on the basis of measurements from
the measuring position. Although some older systems (e.g., microwave beams, propagation by ionospheric
reflection) have less importance than new techniques (e.g., fiber-optic links, wireless systems), some systems
have been developed to play a meaningful role in communication (e.g., digital television broadcasting via
satellites). The part of results connected with noise increase due to precipitation, rain attenuation, and total
signal degradation due to rain in the frequency range between 1 and 25 GHz, which were collected at the
Kielce University of Technology, as a Polish member of COST Action IC0802 – Propagation Tools and Data
for Integrated Telecommunication, Navigation, and Earth Observation Systems, is presented in this article.
