Abstract
A description of a technique for measuring fading microwave signals from the NASA ATS-5 spacecraft is presented. A ground station was used to transmit to and receive from the ATS-5 via its L-band transponder. The experiment included an L-band transmitter, three independent L-band receiving systems, and a semiautomatic data acquisition and analysis system. Sample data are presented.
