This paper studies the rain-induced propagation characteristics over a tropical location
Kolkata, India, using the data collected over a 7 year period, ie, 2004-2010. This location …

Severe tropical weather dynamics impairments on the earth-sky signal quality at the Ku-
band relative to temperate weather increase the demand for land mobile satellite (LMS) …

Existing amplitude scintillation prediction models often perform less satisfactorily when
deployed outside the regions where they were formulated. This necessitates the need to …

The performance of earth-to-satellite link largely depends on various environmental factors
like rain, fog, cloud, and atmospheric effects like ionospheric and tropospheric scintillation …

Satellite signal at the Ka-band is measured at a hilly, high rain fall region, Umiam, Shillong
(25.6768° N, 91.9270° E) for three years using GSAT 14 satellite. Scintillation has been …

The study investigates the impact of tropospheric scintillation on fixed satellite
communication link on earth-space path for frequencies between 10 and 50 GHz for 37 …

Scintillation is a rapid fluctuation of electromagnetic waves in terms of phase and amplitude
due to a small-scale inconsistency in the transmission path (or paths) with time. Scintillation …

Tropospheric scintillation depends significantly on any location's prevailing weather
condition, and its variation must be statistically analyzed to ensure accurate fade margin …

Much investigative studies have been performed over the years on electromagnetic wave
signals being attenuated by rain, cloud, gas and tropospheric scintillation. This paper …

Signal deterioration will result from tropospheric scintillation in microwave communication
connections with small fade margins. In tropical areas, very few scintillation research has …
