Effect of rain induced scintillation on Ku-band satellite link in tropical region

Scintillation data was collected from MEASAT3 for one year. This paper presents the scintillation statistics for dry (non-rain) and wet (rainy) conditions. Scintillation statistics are represented by scintillation intensity and amplitude distributions. Wet scintillation or scintillation during rain is obviously higher than dry scintillation (clear-sky scintillation).
