OPSATCOM Field Measurements. Volume II. Supplemental Information.

摘要

This document reports on the results of a series of experiments performed in June through August 1975 at Santa Catalina Island. The purpose of these experiments was to determine the feasibility of satellite-to-submarine communications. The experiments addressed the propagation aspects of the problem through the water, through the air/sea interface for both the uplink and downlink. Certain aspects of cloud penetration were also considered. The relationship of radiative transfer theory to this problem was also addressed. (Author)
