Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of satellite received signal by focus on the new prediction method for amplitude scintillation expression. A predict method based in the relationship of standard deviation values and the peak to peak values of amplitude scintillation in various of time period and various of sampling rate of signal variation. The principal techniques finding, the proper sampling rate and time interval, for the best expression method. The experiment has been performed in Bangkok of Thailand, at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology, Ladkrabang, data collected in C-Band and Ku-Band on high elevation angles. The result of analysis shows the relationship between two methods is given by ${\sigma}_x={\alpha}(P-P)+{\beta}$. The value of ${\alpha}$ depends on sampling rate by closely with three-minute maximum time interval.
