Scintillation modelling and measurement. A tool for remote-sensing slant paths
Abstract
The use of spectral analysis amplitude scintillations as a remote-sensing tool of a slanted path is investigated in order to derive values of c sub N(2), turbulent path L, and dominant eddy size. Relevant propagation aspects are reviewed nd extended, a layer model analyzed in detail, and experimental results are presented and discussed. The limitations of the remote-sensing technique are also discussed, particularly the use cross-path wind v sub t. The remote-sensing of v sub t is briefly outlined and relevant antenna aperture effects are also considered.
