Summary on Grant Application Form |
This project will use the uniquely recorded BT OLYMPUS propagation data at three frequencies, 12,20 and 30 GHz, for scintillation analysis. Nowhere in Europe has such a detailed analysis of scintillation been performed and the existence of the BT data is unique in this respect. The data analysis will be used to:1. Develop new empirical models for use in CCIR and planning of future satellite systems.2. Investigate a new Digital Signal Processing scheme to mitigate the system effects of scintillation.3. Develop new ways of applying scintillation measurements to atmospheric remote sensing.
