%X the aim of this paper is to present and validate rain attenuation time series synthesizers relying on the maseng-bakken principle for terrestrial links in tropical areas. data obtained in experimental measurements at four links operating at 15 ghz in s£¿o paulo, brazil, are used to parameterize the synthesizers. two models are tested with respect to long-term statistics including cumulative distributions of rain attenuation, fade durations and fade slope.
