    Hysteresis effects in instantaneous frequency scaling of attenuation on 20 and 30 GHz satellite links

    Author(s): Sweeney, D. G.; Pratt, T.; Bostian, C. W.
    Abstract: It has been observed with 20/30 GHz satellite beacon measurements that the ratio of 30 GHz to 20 GHz attenuation changes during some fade events. This ratio displays a hysteresis effect. This effect can be explained by a ...

    Ice depolarization on low-angle 2 GHz satellite downlinks

    Author(s): Stutzman, W. L.; Bostian, C. W.; Tsolakis, A.; Pratt, T.
    Abstract: The impact of ice depolarization on the statistical performance of satellite downlinks were investigated. Propagation data recorded during 1979 and 1980 to see what impact of ice depolarization on link performance were ...

    The VPI&SU multiple polarization plane ZDR radar - The OCTOPOD radar

    Author(s): Andrews, J. H.; Pratt, T.; Porter, R. E.; Imrich, D. M.
    Abstract: The 'OCTOPOD' radar extends the concept of differential reflectivity (ZDR) to multiple polarization planes, so that ZDR measurements can be made in any pair of orthogonal linear polarizations. This allows the mean canting ...
