  • Abstract
    Naturally induced high altitude ionization will cause signal scintillation effects that are of great importance to the design and deployment of military satellite systems employing frequencies below 1 GHz. The scintillation will result in Rician or Rayleigh signal fading with finite signal decorrelation time and limited coherent bandwidth of the transmission channel
