COLD LAKE RADIO PROPAGATION AND METEOROLOGICAL EXPERIMENT. VOLUME 3. DESCRIPTION OF THE VERTICAL REFLECTION INTERFEROMETER AND THE MEASUREMENT ACCURACY

Abstract

A radio reflection interferometer was used to determine effective earth's radii values from the observation of multipath fading records and corresponding signal source positions. Received signal levels, master timing codes, and signal source range were automatically recorded in digital and analog format. Signal source height was obtained from radar altimeter and phototheodolite records. The digital and analog data were processed in an IBM 7094 to obtain extremely accurate calculations of the propagation parameters.
