Olympus propagation measurement results at Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech is performing a comprehensive set of propagation measurements using the OLYMPUS satellite beacons at 12.5, 20, and 30 GHz. A second 20 GHz diversity terminal is portable and is moved to various spacings up to 50 m away from the fixed 20 GHz terminal. Total power radiometers are also included in each terminal. Radiometer data are used both to set the absolute level of the beacon data and to predict path attenuation. This paper presents initial results from the experiment set
