For a non-Kolmogorov spectrum, scintillation aspects of cos, cosh and annular Gaussian beams are investigated. The appropriate mathematical formulation is developed, the derived scintillation index is evaluated and its variation is plotted in graphs. We find that, when the values of the power coefficient of the spectrum are just above 3, low scintillation is encountered, then as the power coefficient is increased, rises will occur with a peak being reached around 3.21. From there onwards, scintillation will drop, as the power coefficient approaches a value of 5. For extreme off-axis positions, there will be slight increases in scintillation at high power coefficient values. At points near on-axis and when the beams have small width sizes, cosh Gaussian beam having a bigger displacement parameter will offer the lowest scintillation. At large width sizes, this advantage will switch to the side of the cos Gaussian beam. In this study, the variation of scintillation with other sources and propagation parameters is examined as well.
