内容記述 | The University of Texas at Austin is now in its fifth year of observing an 11.2 GHz INTELSAT satellite beacon with an elevation angle of only 5.8 degrees. Measurements of the rainfall rate, beacon level, the radiometric sky temperature, and of meteorological parameters are ongoing. The experiment is motivated by the fact that significant increases in coverage can be obtained from a given geostationary orbit location if acceptable performance can be achieved at elevation angles below the current standard at Ku-Band of 10 degrees. The topics covered include the following: data collection, data processing, scintillation fading vs. rain fading, diurnal and seasonal variations, power spectrum, and variability of the beacon standard deviation. |
