THE STATIC AND DYNAMIC TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OXYGEN LINE AT THE 2.5 MM WAVELENGTH.
Abstract
The absorption of the microwave energy by oxygen was examined both theoretically and experimentally, as it is found that the oxygen interaction contributes largely to the microwave attenuation of the atmosphere. The investigation under simulated atmospheric conditions consisted of two parts: the static temperature dependence of attenuation, and the attenuation under dynamic changes of temperature and pressure. The results of measurements and theories are presented and compared. The control of temperature and pressure of O2 can be best achieved in a closed cell. The instrumentation and techniques of measurement are discussed. (Author)
