Abstract
Moon-reflected signals at 150.6 mcps were received on 34 days for a total of approximately 252 hours. Moon-reflected signals at 413.25 mcps were received on all of these days. The Faraday rotation angles have been read from the strip charts obtained at the two frequencies. The data at 413.25 mcps are used to resolve the nx180 degrees ambiguity in the 150.6 mcps data. Calculations of electron content have been completed for the observations through November 3, 1965. The California Computer Products plotter has been used to plot the Faraday rotation and electron content values for all of the data from July 1961 through 1964 and for some of the 1965 data. An Atlas of Faraday rotation and electron content data for July 1961 through 1964 is being prepared under contract AMC 01710(E). The data have been machine plotted and the graph sheets are being prepared. A phase lock receiver has been designed and built for use in keeping the 150.6 mcps receiver 'on signal'. Two biconical, spiral, circularly polarized antennas have been designed, built and tested. These antennas were designed for use in measuring the deploolarization at the surface of the moon. (Author)
