Abstract :
A method of reducing the possibilities of interference between earth stations and microwave radio-relay stations by the use of pit shielding has been investigated. A pit was constructed containing a 32-foot diameter antenna. Measurements are reported which indicate a shielding advantage of at least 25 dB. A siting example under actual conditions is given.
