  • Abstract
    The experimentally determined probabiliiy density function of the amplitude scintillations on an X-band satellite down-link is shown to depart significantly from the log-normal distribution for scintillations with amplitudes greater than ±0.15 dB, which occur on average for less than 5% of the time. This departure is explained in terms of a Gaussian process with a variable standard deviation, and the impact and use of this model is discussed.
