The effect of the spectral width {Delta}k of the ionospheric density irregularity an scintillation of the transionospheric signal is examined. The results show that the Scinti1lation Index S{sub 4} depends strongly on {Delta}/k which can enhance or reduce S{sub 4} value depending on the wave length of the irregularity. However, a 10% spectral width reduces S{sub 4} to a negligibly small value almost independent of the scale length of the irregularity.
