Aircraft L-Band Balloon-Simulated Satellite Experiments. Volume II. CW Multipath Test Results and Analyses.

Abstract

Volume II contains the CW test results of an experiment run to simulate a satellite-to-aircraft channel at L-band. The program was initiated when the ATS-5 Satellite failed to achieve a wholly successful synchronous orbit and started to tumble. Using ballons to simulate the satellite, tests were run with the FAA CV880 aircraft. Although the geometry restricted the tests to low elevation angles and tangential paths, they were sufficient to obtain representative results.
