LOS selective fading and AN/FRC-170(V) radio hybrid computer simulation

This report documents results of the modeling, simulation and study of the dual diversity AN/FRC-170(V) radio and frequency selective fading microwave line of sight radio channel. Both hybrid computer and circuit technologies were used to develop a fast accurate and flexible simulation tool to investigate changes and proposed improvements to the design of the AN/FRC-170(V) radio. In addition to the simulation study, a remote hybrid computer terminal was provided to DCEC for interactive study of the modeled radio and channel. Simulated performance of the radio for Rayleigh, line of sight two ray channels, and additive noise are included in the report.
