In order to truly understand data signals transmitted by satellite,
one must understand scintillation theory in addition to well
established theories of EM wave propagation and scattering.
Scintillation is a nuisance in satellite EM communications, but it
has stimulated numerous theoretical developments with science
applications. This book not only presents a thorough theoretical
explanation of scintillation, but it also offers a complete library
of MATLAB codes that will reproduce the book examples. The library
includes GPS coordinate manipulations, satellite orbit
prediction, and earth mean magnetic field computations.
The subect matter is for EM researchers; however, also theory is relevant to geophysics, acoustics, optics and astoronomy.
