  • Abstract
    It is shown that by using a Doppler radar system the acceleration due to gravity can be measured in terms of the frequency of a microwave oscillator, the velocity of light and the number of Doppler cycles received in a known time. The block diagram of a simple radio-electronic system for making this measurement is described, and some preliminary results are given.
