Millimeter wavelength propagation studies
Abstract
Diversity data obtained using the ATS-5 satellite and available BTL data were compared with optimum diversity gain predictions. This comparison indicates that terminal spacings exceeding 8 km result in values of diversity gain within 1.5 dB of the optimum. The thunderstorm cell modeling technique for predicting attenuation and diversity gain statistics was extended to include ellipsoidal cell models. A three rain gage method for the measurement of cell size, ellipticity, and orientation was developed.
