This report presents results from scattering and absorption by rain effects on the strength of the microwave signal at the X-band. The measurements of the signal strength are done by measuring the S12 parameters in different weather conditions: No rain, shower rain, and heavy rain including the wind effects. The measurement is done inside an artificial rain setup. The measurements are compared to identical simulations using CST MWS and quantitatively compared with results from Rayleigh theory reported in the literature.
