Effect of the anisotropy of atmospheric irregularities on the operation of a multielement antenna system
Abstract
Expressions for the fluctuating part of the sum amplitude for the coherent composition of the signal of a three-element satellite interferometer are obtained using an anisotropic Kalman model to describe random irregularities of atmospheric permittivity. The effects of the location of the interferometer points and the atmospheric anisotropy on the fluctuations of the sum signal are determined. The results are of interest in connection with the evaluation of the efficiency of the wireless beaming of energy to a spacecraft from spaced locations.
