MICROWAVE PHASE FRONT MEASUREMENTS FOR OVERWATER PATHS OF 12 AND 32 MILES,

Abstract

This paper presents the results of Microwave Measurements at a wave length of 3.2 centimeters for overwater paths of 12 and 32 miles near Galveston, Texas. Continuous curves of phase and signal strength for a range of transmitter heights between 10 and 55 feet mean sea level and for a range of receiver heights between 11 and 55 feet mean sea level are shown. Comparison of the two radio paths is made and deviations of the results from those commonly expected for overwater propagation are pointed out. (Author)
