Abstract
En el presente artículo se introduce una aplicación web diseñada para el cálculo de estadísticas de atenuación por lluvia en Bolivia. Los cálculos que realiza son válidos para enlaces con el satélite boliviano TKSat-1 y se realizan en base a las últimas recomendaciones proporcionadas por la UIT-R. Se presentan un par de aplicaciones concretas tomando en cuenta dos emplazamientos en Bolivia: uno en una región tropical con altos niveles de precipitación, y otro en una región altiplánica en la región occidental del país. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran la utilidad de la aplicación y permiten estudiar de manera cuantitativa los diferentes efectos que produce la lluvia a diferentes bandas de frecuencias, así como su comportamiento estadístico en un año medio.
The present paper aims to introduce a web-based-application for the calculation of rain attenuation statistics in Bolivia. The calculations developed by the tool are valid for slant path links using the Bolivian satellite TKSat-1 and are based on latest versions of Recommendations provided by the ITU-R. A couple of study cases are discussed by using two different sites in Bolivia: one located in a tropical region with high precipitation levels, and other one located in the Bolivian Andean plateau in the western region of the country. The results obtained show the usefulness of the tool and allow to quantitatively study the attenuation effects caused by rain at different frequency bands, as well as their statistical behavior in an average year.
