Abstract:
Results of four experiments are presented in a further study of errors contributed by the atmosphere in azimuth angle measurements made with short-baseline microwave systems. Time variations in the azimuth of a fixed target were found to decrease with increasing radio frequency in the range of 9.4 to 35-GHz. Ground multipath is indicated as the principal source of these variations which are characterized, especially at the lower frequencies, by long-term trends and lack of correlation on adjacent paths.
