Time and Frequency Fluctuations of Microwave Interference Due to Terrain Scatter
01 January 1986
Experimental data is presented which characterizes microwave interference through time varying transfer functions and impulse responses. This elucidates the physical mechanisms that take place in the interference path, which are dominated by scattering at the earth's surface. A study of the statistical results reveals that FM carrier interference is more detrimental, because of a high-peak factor, than digital interference into another digital channel.
