Abstract
The VA Tech OLYMPUS propagation experiment, which includes 12, 20, and 30 GHz beacon receivers at an elevation angle of 14 degrees , provides valuable multifrequency scintillation data. The frequency scaling law, of the scintillation intensity derived from V.I. Tatarski's (1961) weak fluctuation theory is compared to experimental results. An analysis of a few scintillation events indicates that for large scintillations the scaling ratios of the scintillation intensity are well predicted by the theory. For small scintillations it is necessary to take the effects of the thermal noise into account.Keywords
