Characterization of tropospheric scintillations on Earth-space paths in the Ku and Ka frequency bands using the results from the Virginia Tech OLYMPUS experiment

There has been increasing interest in the use of Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs) in satellite communication links operating in the Ku and Ka bands. Such systems offers the advantage of low signal margins and therefore, low cost. For the same reason, however, VSATs links can be strongly impaire...
