  • Abstract
    The characteristics of radar pulse echoes from the moon are exemplified by a "quasi-smooth" moon theory. It is shown that these characteristics point strongly toward the use of 5 \\mu sec pulses of X-band radiation for minimum distortion FM moon communication systems. Power considerations alone, however, would suggest that pulses of approximately 30 \\mu sec are preferable. From both points of view, X-band is desirable over longer wavelengths.
