STUDIES IN ELECTROMAGNETIC PROPAGATION. PART I: REFRACTIVE CORRECTIONS.

Abstract

This report is one of a special series devoted to those problems of electromagnetic propagation which affect radio tracking and guidance of missiles and space vehicles. The information on which these reports is based has come from two sources: (1) previous investigation, both experimental and theoretical; (2)experimental simulation programs initiated by AFBMD and STL and theoretical studies made at STL. These studies were designed to anticipate and measure the fundamental physical limitations imposed by the atmosphere upon radio guidance. This material has been brought together in an effort to produce a unified current picture of propagation phenomena. (Author)
