Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTEC and Scintillation Study of Equatorial Ionosphere: A Month Campaign over Sipitang and Parit Raja Stations, MalaysiaM. Abdullah, A. F.M. Zain, Y. H. Ho, S. AbdullahProblem Statement: Ionospheric scintillations, which cause significant effects on satellite signals for communication and navigation, often takes place in equatorial region such as Malaysia. However, this disturbance are not fully understand due to few studies performed. This research reports the study and monitoring activity on Total Electron Content (TEC) and ionospheric scintillation in Malaysia using GPS measurements. Approach: One dual-frequency … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,502 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Impact of XRF-Escape on Energy Resolution of NaI: Tl Scintillation Detectors for Medical Imaging or Gamma-Ray SpectroscopyRaffaele Scafè, Marco Puccini, Rosanna Pellegrini, Roberto PaniThe effect of escape of X-ray fluorescence from scintillator elemental components on the detector energy resolution is investigated from a spectroscopic standpoint, for monolithic and pixelated crystals. Along with these, any other emissions in a given region of interest were also considered. In present spectral evaluations a range of ratios between the areas of the peaks (XRFesc) to (XRFesc + … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 10 Jul 2024 · 5,024 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGPS Ionospheric Total Electron Content and Scintillation Measurements during the October 2003 Magnetic StormMohammad Awad Momani, Takialddin A. Al Smadi, Farouq M. Al Taweel, Khaldoon A. GhaidanProblem Statement: Ionospheric scintillations, cause significant effects on satellite signals for communication and navigation in equatorial region and polar regions mainly during sever magnetic storms periods. This phenomenon is not fully understood due to few studies performed. The study investigates variability of Total Electron Content (TEC) and ionospheric scintillation during October 2003 magnetic storm over Antarctica using ground based GPS … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,508 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Tropospheric Scintillation Intensity on Earth to Space in MalaysiaMandeep Singh Jit Singh, Syed Idris Syed Hassan, Mohd Fadzil Ain et al.This paper presents the results of a study on tropospheric scintillation on satellite link that has been performed at University Sains Malaysia (USM) to obtain statistics of scintillation from the 12.255 GHz Superbird C satellite with an elevation angle of 40.10. The objective of this analysis was to determine whether the long-term scintillation follows the log normal or gamma distribution. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,266 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoherent Polarization Shift Keying Modulated Free Space Optical Links Over a Gamma-Gamma Turbulence ChannelX. Tang, Z. Ghassemlooy, S. Rajbhandari et al.Problem statement: The optical signal propagating through the Free Space Optical (FSO) channel suffers from irradiance and phase fluctuations caused by the atmospheric turbulence, which results in Bit Error Rate (BER) performance degradation. Approach: In this study the performance of the Multilevel Coherent Polarization Shift Keying (M-POLSK) based FSO communication system operating over the gamma-gamma turbulence channel is investigated. To … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 18 Jan 2012 · 7,954 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRange of Medium and High Energy Protons and Alpha Particles in NaI ScintillatorOnder KabadayiWe have calculated the range of proton and alpha particle in NaI scintillator which is a commonly used substance in scintillation detector manufacturing. The stopping power of proton and alpha particle in NaI is calculated first by using the theoretical treatment of Montenegro et al.[1]. The range calculation has been performed by using a technique that we developed in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 6,946 accessesView PDF Cite
