Moon Bounce Communications to Small Terminals,

Abstract

The object of this study is to investigate the feasibility of communications from a large fixed earth station to a small mobile station using moon-reflected signals. A review of the technical problems is presented, and recommendations made on the choice of operating frequency, modulation type and equipment. Suggestions are made for practical trails, using equipment which is already in existence at RSRE Defford.
