AIRBORNE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM MARCOM RELAY

Abstract

Research was continued on air-to-air and ground to-air microwave propagation and transmission to aid in predicting the capabilities of multi channel microwave communication systems using airborne radio relay stations. It was tentatively concluded that the branching of 12-channel groups from 60-channel supergroups will present no major technical difficulties. Branching (and other types of switching) in the airborne plat forms can be accomplished best on a per mission basis and not normally during flight. Frequency studies to date indicate that a frequency plan providing maximum assignment flexibility is extremely costly in terms of RF spectrum.
