If the rain droplets are present in an inhomogeneous way across the path length of the microwave communication system then, a new concept of path length reduction factor is introduced which accounts for the inhomogeneous nature of the rain droplets along the path length of the microwave signal. The present paper presents results of path length reduction factor using data on attenuation levels obtained on a LOS link operating at 28.75GHz in Amritsar region and its comparison with Crane's and ITU-R's model.
