Outline of ATS-6 propagation measurements over Europe
Abstract
In the period July 1976 - October 1977 a campaign of propagation experiments at 13, 18, 20, and 30 GHz was carried out, using the ATS-6 satellite, placed at 35 deg E longitude. The paper presents a brief description of the spacecraft and its payload. An outline of the experiments carried out in Europe is given. The coordination of these experiments by the European Space Agency is described. Finally, an evaluation of the campaign is given.
