Occurrence of Scintillation of UHF SATCOM Signals at Guam from Mid-March to Mid-Augutst 1978.

Abstract

Occurrences of scintillation with fades greater than 6 dB are reported for the 257 MHz satellite signals recorded at Guam. These measurements cover the period from mid-March to mid-August 1978. The satellites were geostationary with about 10 and 50 degree elevation angles from Guam. The occurrence of scintillation is compared to the 2800 MHz solar flux. Reported satellite communications outages are also correlated with the occurrence of scintillation. (Author)
