Summary:A field study on wave propagation covering a wide range of the
electromagnetic spectrum has been actively running for the last four
years in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study involves the
operation and continuous, computerized, monitoring of two microwave
radio links operating at 12 GHz, three millimeter wave links with radio
frequency of 40 GHz, and an infrared link with 0.88 μm wave length. A
meteorological station is operated and monitored as well. The paper
presents new data and analysis of scintillation and fading observed on
various links during the last four years. Amplitude scintillation has
been measured on 14-km, 40-GHz links, with average path clearance of 50
meters along the path. Various types of amplitude scintillation vis.,
dry, quasi-wet and wet scintillation are presented and compared.
Amplitude scintillation distributions are obtained and reported for
various types of scintillation
