Tropospheric scintillation prediction models for a high elevation angle based on measured data from a tropical region

The recent rapid evolution of new satellite services, including VSAT for internet access, LAN interconnection and multimedia applications, has triggered an increasing demand for bandwidth usage by satellite communications. However, these systems are susceptible to propagation effects that become sig...
