  • Abstract
    Signals in a satellite-earth communication link pass through the ionosphere where there may exist random irregularities. These random irregularities will scatter and distort the Signal, producing a fading channel. Such a channel is generally characterized by the symmetric and asymmetric correlation functions. Approximate solutions for these functions have been obtained and the results plotted for typical ionospheric parameters. Some of the results are shown in terms of coherence bandwidth.
