Goldstone STDN 9-meter radiation test
Abstract
The Goldstone spaceflight tracking and data network (STDN) 9-meter tests were conducted from February through July 1981 to characterize the near-field radiation patterns of the S-band and fourth harmonic frequency emissions. The test configurations and results are presented with graphs of the antenna patterns. The tests indicated that X-band leakage may be suppressed to levels of approximately -190 dBm/sq cm at 200 meters.
