Investigation of X-band and Ka-band amplitude scintillation based on measurement data collected during ESA's BepiColombo superior solar conjunction campaign

Chen, Shun-Ping; Lanucara, Marco; Villalvilla, Jose

Solar phase scintillation and solar amplitude scintillation are fundamentally important in deep space mission operations for designing a communication system capable of transmitting signals when the signal path is close to the Sun. The ESA's BepiColombo measurement data were analyzed in a previous paper in terms of the power spectral density of th…
