High Gain Antenna Array Facilities at the Ohio State University

Abstract

A description is given of an antenna array consisting of highly accurate 30 foot diameter parabolic reflectors that is being installed at the Ohio State University. The antenna is to be used in experiments dealing with communication systems employing passive reflectors in orbits about the earth. The techniques that will be used for coherently combining the signals for acquiring the signals in the presence of doppler and for automatic tracking is given. Experiments that are planned using the array as a high gain low noise antenna are given.
