Characterisation of equatorial scintillations For transionospheric links

Yannick Beniguel

Abstract:	The characteristics of random ionospheric inhomogeneities are described including their dependency on the geophysical parameters. They are used in a propagation model to estimate the propagation errors and the fades of the transmitted signals. Margins to be included in a budget link are subsequently determined. Features of our propagation model are presented with typical results for VHF and L band links.
