The future communication systems will use higher frequencies, Ka and Q band. For the implementation of fade mitigation techniques, it is important to have representative time series representing the degradations of the received signal for GEO and LEO satellites. This paper presents a model combining numerical weather prediction software WRF and MultiEXCELL rain cells model in order to have more accurate representation of the dynamics of the attenuation for GEO and non-GEO satellite links.
