Abstract :
Propagation tests at frequencies between 3000 and 4000 Mc. are described. The effect on the received signal of changes in the index of refraction of the atmosphere are discussed, and means are suggested for minimizing signal variations with particular regard to the application of microwave-relay communication systems. Theoretical data is given on diffraction at these frequencies.
