| Description | Simultaneous observations of ionspheric fading of 1550 MHz and 136 MHz radio waves from the ATS-5 spacecraft were recorded on the geomagnetic equator at Ancon, Peru. The observations were made during a period around the 1971 spring equinox; they show fades as great as 27 db at 136 MHz, and 6 db at 1550 MHz. The general characteristics of the scintillation signatures at the two frequencies are discussed with emphasis on comparison of the two frequencies with respect to rates and depths of fades. Typical statistical distributions of signal levels are also presented from which time availabilities of the signals relative to the median levels can be derived. |
