The objectives of the Jungfrau experiment
Abstract
The main purpose of the Jungfrau experiment is to simulate the presence of a satellite in orbit by means of a model of OTS installed on the top of the mountain and to operate side by side a link for propagation studies and a wideband digital transmission channel having an uplink at 14 GHz and a downlink at 11 GHz. The objectives are measurement of the effects of atmospheric disturbances on the transmission of high rate binary signals (180 Mbit/s), measurement of mutual interference between two wideband signals propagating through the atmosphere on two orthogonal polarizations according to the frequency reuse principle, and correlation of results with data relating to the propagation medium.
