THE EFFECTS OF CARRIER FREQUENCY AND ANTENNA DIAMETER ON FREQUENCY SELECTIVE MULTIPATH FADING

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / This paper uses ARTM channel sounding data collected at Edwards Air Force Base to investigate the
dependency between the characteristics of frequency selective multipath fading and carrier frequency
and ground based received antenna diameter. Channel model parameters are obtained from data sets
measured at different frequencies and various ground based antenna diameters. The analysis shows that
the multipath characteristics do not statistically change between the L-band and S-band carrier
frequencies, but do change with antenna diameter. Furthermore, Flight 18 data shows that antenna
diversity may be a useful technique to reduce data loss from multipath fading.
