The interfade duration, defined as the period between two consecutive fade events, has been only poorly analyzed using limited data sets, but its complete characterization would enable the design and optimization of the satellite communication systems by estimating the system requirements to recover in time before the next propagation impairment. Depending on this analysis, several actions can be taken ensuring the service maintenance. In this paper we present for the first time a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the interfade events statistical properties based on 9\u2009years of in\u2010excess attenuation measurements at Ka band (19.7\u2009GHz) with very high availability that is required to build a reliable data set mainly for the longer interfade duration events. The number of years necessary to reach the statistical stability of interfade duration is also evaluated for the first time, providing a reference when accessing the relevance of the results published in the past. The study is carried out in Aveiro, Portugal, which is conditioned by temperate Mediterranean climate with Oceanic influences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/2015rs005865","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,27]],"date-time":"2016-02-27T12:39:16Z","timestamp":1456576756000},"page":"150-159","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Characterization of interfade duration for satellite communication systems design and optimization in a temperate climate"],"prefix":"10.1029","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Fl\u00e1vio","family":"Jorge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es e Departamento de Electr\u00f3nica, Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es e Inform\u00e1tica Universidade de Aveiro Aveiro Portugal"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Riva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DEIB\/Politecnico di Milano \u2010 IEIIT\/CNR Milano Italy"}]},{"given":"Armando","family":"Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es e Departamento de Electr\u00f3nica, Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es e Inform\u00e1tica Universidade de Aveiro Aveiro Portugal"}]}],"member":"13","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,14]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"International Union of Radio Science\u2010URSI Proceeding GA06","year":"2005","author":"Amaya C.","key":"e_1_2_6_2_1"},{"volume-title":"Proceedings of COST272\u2014European Union Forum for Cooperative Scientific Research","year":"2003","author":"Amaya C.","key":"e_1_2_6_3_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","unstructured":"Anon(2005) ITU\u2010R P.1623\u20101: Prediction method of fade dynamics on Earth\u2010space paths."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TCOM.1982.1095372"},{"volume-title":"IX Simp\u00f3sio Brasileiro de Microondas e Optoeletr\u00f4nica (SBMO'IX)","year":"2000","author":"Braten L.","key":"e_1_2_6_6_1"},{"volume-title":"AIAA International Communications Satellite Systems Conference","year":"2001","author":"Braten L.
