Frequency dependence of scintillation at K and Ka-band

This paper addresses the frequency dependence of tropospheric scintillation by comparing the scintillation of both frequencies at the seven sites. Theoretically, tropospheric scintillation increases as the frequency increases with respect to a power function, f. The goal of this paper is to determine values for a, and study site, climate and elevation angle, dependence of a, with respect to rain and clear-sky conditions.
