Tropospheric scintillation plays an important role in low availability systems using frequencies above 10 GHz. The results pre-sented in this letter show that amplitude scintillation is independent of polarization, as long as the transversal dimension of the first Fresnel zone is of the order of few meters as it is the case in satellite systems working in SHF or EHF bands. The results are based on high-resolution time series (50 samples/s) of vertical- and horizontal-polarized 19.77-GHz scintillation amplitude recorded at Spino d’Adda (45.4°N) in clear-sky (no rain) in a 30.6° slant path to satellite Olympus in August and September 1992.

Abstract
Tropospheric scintillation plays an important role in low availability systems using frequencies above 10 GHz. The results pre-sented in this letter show that amplitude scintillation is independent of polarization, as long as the transversal dimension of the first Fresnel zone is of the order of few meters as it is the case in satellite systems working in SHF or EHF bands. The results are based on high-resolution time series (50 samples/s) of vertical- and horizontal-polarized 19.77-GHz scintillation amplitude recorded at Spino d’Adda (45.4°N) in clear-sky (no rain) in a 30.6° slant path to satellite Olympus in August and September 1992.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
