In order to achieve high data rate higher frequencies must be used – centimeter waves (SHF), millimeter waves (EHF) or optical range. However, there are significant problem when a radio link work in that diapason – rain attenuation and attenuation in earth-s atmosphere. Based on statistical rain rates data for Bulgaria, the link availability can be determined, depending on the working frequency, the path length and the Power Budget of the link. For the calculations of rain attenuation and atmosphere-s attenuation the ITU recommendations are used.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {11}, year = {2011}, pages = {1458 - 1461}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12827}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/59}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 59, 2011}, }
