Abstract

Accurate and real time rainfall levels estimations are very useful in various applications of hydraulic structure design, agriculture, weather forecasting, climate modeling, etc. An accurate measurement of rainfall with high spatial resolution is possible with an appropriate positioned set of rainfall gauge, but an alternative method to estimate the rainfall is the analysis of electromagnetic wave, in particular the microwave attenuation. Mainly this is done concerning impact of rain on transmission of electromagnetic waves at the level of radio frequency above 10 GHz. In this paper we investigate a new method to estimate rainfall level using the analysis of received signal strength and its variance in mobile LTE/4G terminal to produce a map of prediction.
