The Millstone Hill Propagation Study: Progress in FY 1970
Abstract
The report summarizes propagation studies which were centered on the Millstone Hill Field Station where an 84' fully steerable parabolic reflector is to be employed for simultaneous angle-of-arrival measurements of signals at UHF and L-band. These measurements are expected to permit refraction effects introduced by the auroral regions of the ionosphere to be investigated. Work to date has largely been concerned with modifying the equipment in order to undertake the observations. A limited number of tracking observations have been carried out which yield useful measurements of angular scintillation. Additional measurements to study the extent and cause of auroral clutter have been undertaken. The Millstone Hill Thomson Scatter radar has also been employed to study F-region irregular behavior associated with auroral precipitation and the presence of Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances.
