Abstract:

A collection of titles and abstracts is presented for articles dealing with the microwave fading that has been observed on tropospheric line of sight paths. Selections are included for related subjects such as: measurement of meteorological factors; spatial, frequency and time diversity reception; and attenuation due to trees and buildings. Also included is a subject index and an author index.

This bibliography contains over 200 titles and abstracts from the open literature published between 1933 and the first half of 1964. Although most are taken from English language publications, several selections are also included from French, German, Russian, Italian, and Japanese language publications. In general, selections from “in house” publications or reports of limited distribution were avoided. This course was followed not only because such reports are not readily available to all interested parties but also because they generally appear later in a more concise published version.

Keywords: attenuation; microwave fading; spatial diversity; tropospheric propagation; line of sight (LOS)
