The demand for digital multimedia service using Ka band satellite communication are growing rapidly. So, in this paper, we have analyzed rain attenuation with typical model, and proposed prediction model of rain attenuation in high frequency(20 GHz). This paper illustrates Korea rain attenuation characteristics at the Ka band Koreasat beacon frequency based on the theoretical and empirical approaches and seek for efficient techniques by rain attenuation estimate and analyzed performance of adaptive modulation system. Propose prediction model of rain attenuation and parameter of satellite link can be available for the Ka band satellite communication.
