Abstract—Radio communication systems using millimeter wave (mmWave) are not only an essential component in the fixed traditional services, but also a key element which is highly needed in future 5G radio access mobile networks. Although hydrometeors attenuation is the most influential factor related to the total propagation losses at frequencies above 10 GHz, increasing rapidly at higher frequencies, several additional effects should not be ignored in the design of mmWare communication systems. The aim of this work is to generate a time series that reproduces the spectral characteristics of propagation impairment events. The performance of the developed time series method for propagation channel is checked against satellite beacon measurements.
