© 2018 IEEE.Rapid development in mobile communication technologies has brought high speed and capacity requirements. With the introduction of mobile networks in many areas of life, such as smart homes and cities, virtual reality and augmented reality applications, health, education, agriculture and industry, there is a high increase in the amount of data usage. For this reason, standardization studies of the fifth generation (5G) technologies are continuing rapidly. In addition to this, it is planned to use frequency bands of 30-300 GHz, which are not yet in use for the 5G mobile technologies, also known as the millimeter wave (mmW), since the frequency bands allocated to the current mobile technologies are insufficient to meet the needs of the users. The attenuation of the signals in the upper bands of the frequency spectrum increases due to the distance. Since the mmW bands lie at the high frequency spectrum, they are also affected by atmospheric phenomena, such as rain and fog, and are subject to additional weakening. In this study, the weaknesses of the mmW frequency bands planned to be used in 5G technologies due to various atmospheric effects are analyzed comparatively. As a result of the studies carried out, it has been shown that the obtained attenuation rates need to be taken into consideration in network planning for the mmW frequency bands in 5G mobile networks.
