  • Abstract
    Experimental equipment has been developed which adapts the Rake concept to tropospheric scatter. This equipment enables experimental tests of multipath diversity effectiveness for communications. Its delay-resolution capabilities and circuit stability also allow effective use of the equipment for novel propagation research. The underlying concepts and equipment design are described, along with initial propagation test results.
