In order to truly understand data signals transmitted by satellite,one must understand scintillation theory in addition to wellestablished theories of EM wave propagation and scattering.Scintillation is a nuisance in satellite EM communications, but ithas stimulated numerous theoretical developments with scienceapplications. This book not only presents a thorough theoreticalexplanation of scintillation, but it also offers a complete libraryof MATLAB codes that will reproduce the book examples. The libraryincludes GPS coordinate manipulations, satellite orbitprediction, and earth mean magnetic field computations.
The subect matter is for EM researchers; however, also theory isrelevant to geophysics, acoustics, optics and astoronomy.
