MEASUREMENTS OF WAVEFRONT DISTORTION AND THE ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF GROUND AT HIGH FREQUENCIES

Abstract

The polarization and direction of the electromagnetic field, produced by a distant source of radiation, are affected by electrical ground properties, terrain contours, and vegetation. These effects have been measured along the axis of a 1.2-mile linear antenna array (ISCAN), presently under separate investigation. The method of evaluating the measurements is described and the results correlated with known features of the site.
