AIRBORNE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. MARCOM RELAY, PHASE I.

Abstract

The objective of this investigation is to gather and analyze information on air-to-air and groundto-air microwave propagation and transmission. The findings will aid in predicting the capabilities of multichannel microwave communication systems using airborne radio relay stations and should provide information basic to the design of airborne systems. Work was concentrated on detailed preparations for the test program. Progress was also made on the background investigations. Preparation of the test systems will be delayed about five weeks because of problems encountered in fabricating, procuring, and assembling the test equipment for the two aircraft. As a result, the data-collection period has been reduced from five months to about four months, to begin in early January 1964 and to end on April 30, 1964.
