  • Abstract
    A typical spectrum of differential phase scintillations measured between two frequencies near 54.5 GHz on a 4.1 km line-of-sight path is presented and the measurement system described. Results confirm the expected ¿8/3 dependence of the spectrum. A marked loss of spectral density at very low scintillation frequencies is observed.
