Abstract
Amplitude scintillation spectra and statistics obtained simultaneously at VHF (257. 55 MHz), L band (1541. 5 MHz), and C band (3945. 5 MHz) from the MARISAT communications satellite (15 degree W) are presented. The measurements were made at Ascension Island (7 degree 58 prime S, 14 degree 25 prime W, 30 degree S DIP) over a high elevation propagation path within a few degrees of the magnetic meridian plane. The multi-frequency data and the unique propagation geometry make it possible to study the structures of the equatorial ionospheric irregularities closely. Numerical simulation is used to model a specific event.
