RANGE AND ANGLE CALIBRATION FACILITY STUDY

Abstract

Design criteria for a time delay and angle calibration facility was developed. A site survey was performed in Central New York and a site with a 2.5 mile line was located. Means for calibration of the line length and refractive index of the atmosphere are outlined. Measurements were taken on a 500 KM line. These measurements tested the refractive index correction technique and the spectra physics geodolite and geodimeter.
