Ionospheric scintillation data detrending is reviewed in this paper. The attention is focused on satellite to ground links (mainly GPS) data. The problem of a fixed (“frozen”) cutoff frequency is pointed out. A possible explanation of the presence of “phase without amplitude” scintillations is given as a result of erroneous data detrending.
