B. Belloul et al., PREDICTION OF SCINTILLATION INTENSITY FROM SKY-NOISE TEMPERATURE IN EARTH-SATELLITE LINKS, Electronics Letters, 34(10), 1998, pp. 1023-1024
Further evidence of the strong correlation between sky-noise temperatu
re and scintillation intensity at 12.5GHz is revealed. Predictions fro
m an measurement derived linear regression fit are compared with CCIR
predictions and show a net improvement in the accuracy of the scintill
ation levels. Extrapolation to 30GHz also gives reasonably accurate in
tensities.
