COMSTAR and CTS angle-of-arrival measurements
Abstract
This brief note describes angle of arrival measurement made at Columbus, Ohio, USA, on 11.7 and 28.56 GHz earth-space paths. These measurements indicate that the short term deviation of the angle of arrival exceeds 0.1° for 0.01 percent of the time. Such a fluctuation would indicate that adverse effects may be expected for receiving apertures having diameters on the order of 1.000 λ or larger.
