Information on Scintillation Loss

In satellite communications, scintillation loss results from rapid variations in the signal’s amplitude and phase due to changes in the refractive index of the Earth's atmosphere.


Other topics in our resources on Satellite Communications related to Scintillation Loss include: 
 
  • Beam-spreading Loss
  • Polarisation Loss
  • Rayleigh fading
    		•
  • Free-space loss
  • Atmospheric Absorption Loss
