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 
sec pulses of X-band radiation for minimum distortion FM moon communication systems. Power considerations alone, however, would suggest that pulses of approximately 
sec are preferable. From both points of view, X-band is desirable over longer wavelengths.
