A simulation procedure for generating the signals appearing at the focal plane of a parabolic reflector is presented. The procedure consists of generating the time series of the angle‐of ‐arrival fluctuation and intensity scintillation directly from their temporal power spectra and combining the two processes. An example of the procedure is also given.
